Well, this is it. #1000. A big milestone for me and I appreciate all of you who tune in and read these posts. This ukulele is a comfortable hybrid of a classic Beansprout tenor and my Kingdom Era designs. It feels right to look to the past with this, while also acknowledging what I want to do more of in the future. The back and sides for this are made from some curly Oregon Myrtle and the top is curly Port Orford Cedar, both from our friend Kevin at woodfromthewest.com. The neck is Alder, a local wood that I salvaged from a cabinet shop. The fretboard, headplate, bridge and binding are Oregon Walnut. I especially like the bird’s foot purling as a decorative feature, which I also sent down the fretboard and headplate. This is a design element I learned from the ukuleles I studied from the 1890’s, as is the pin bridge, headstock shape and end of fretboard shape. It has Gotoh tuners, fluorocarbon strings, bone nut and saddle, radiused fretboard and a K&K pickup. It comes with hardshell case, strap, strings, tuner, humidifier and FREE shipping anywhere on planet Earth. It is available here for $4500. Thank you for all of your support, I am very thankful to live this life and you are the reason I get to keep going.
