This instrument was supposed to be the centerpiece of my merch table at the Reno Uke Fest this spring. Since that has been postponed, I thought I would offer it up on eBay. This big island Koa came from Bruce at Notable Woods, who works hard to sustainability harvest and preserve this precious wood. The neck is old growth fir from a Portland floor hoist and the pistachio comes from California orchards. I wrapped it up in rope binding for a classic look. The sound is also classic, with the sparkle of Koa and the depth of the tenor size.

“Aaron,
I am so pleased! The uke arrived a day before expected and it is so wonderful in my hands.
Nice sustain, friendly familiarity of play, and the most gorgeous douglas fir neck showing off an ancient tree’s slow growing later years. You know i love that kind of workmanship. I love its contrast to the flaming marvel of the koa and it rope binding. I am one pleased accidental owner of my first Beansprout.
This hawaiian oregon songbird has found a happy new home. I look forward to hearing it “open up” over the coming months.
Thank you to you and Nicole and Henry (because i bid for all of you) from the bottom of my smiling heart.
