It has been fun lately to build these smaller sizes, known for sparkly brightness, and choose woods that sound rich and dark. It makes for a nice balance and a nice playing experience, certainly worth exploring. The Cedar for this build comes from a burned out snag in Washington, the quilted Koa is from Char when she retired from Mya-Moe, the mahogany neck is a scrap from a furniture maker and the Texas Ebony is from a retired banjo builder.
“Thanks for making such a beautiful ukulele. The craftsmanship is incredible and the combination of woods, shades of color, grain patterns, and timbre makes for a truly unique instrument that is even more amazing than what I imagined. I’ve played it almost every day since I received it and the sound just keeps getting better. It is a joy to play. Bravo!
Best Regards,
M. H. ”
