When I got this Myrtle from a supplier, it had the knots on the back circled as if it was a problem and he needed to apologize for the “flaws.” Well, you know how I feel about that, I made sure to feature them as a reminder of our own flawed beauty. The all Myrtle baritone is a standard for me to build and play, one of my all around favorite ukes. This one does not disappoint as it feels and sounds great in my hands. The Myrtle is from the Oregon coast, the pistachio is from California orchards and the spruce neck is from Camp Westwind.
