I love the old soprano ukes, with the loud bark, easy portability and light weight. My goal to improve on them is to add some sustain, improve the playability and add a few modern features. In this case, a radiused fretboard, geared tuners and a pickup. The top is some salvaged Cedar from wall paneling, a common building material in the Pacific north west. The back and sides are some beautiful Walnut with light colored sap wood, that I got from Chris at Yodel Boy Woodworks. It was a tree harvested up the road in Parkdale, OR. I also used it for fretboard, headplate and bridge. Lastly, I made the neck from some salvaged Mahogany scraps, also from some wall paneling in a Portland theater. I love the sound of this Cedar top, loud and ringing, with a nice pop to the front edge and long sustain. Thanks for the order, Jason!!!
