#443- Curly Walnut and Pistachio Concert Banjo Ukulele

We met Errol in Canada at a music camp we were teaching at. During one of my workshops, another customer of ours let him try out her banjo uke, which peaked his interest. He picked out a nice combination of features to produce a unique instrument. He asked for curly walnut, so I went back to my Goby stash to grab this multi colored Oregon walnut with red streaks. He added on the low g string, a pickup and an armrest as well. I picked pretty simple pistachio from California orchards for the fretboard, headplate and trim so that it wouldn’t overshadow the walnut. I’m really pleased with it, I hope he is too!
