Sweet, simple and made from shop scraps. A soprano uke with a small round body based on the old Lyon and Healy camp uke. The cherry and mahogany are from the Carpenter Ant stash, the spruce is old growth salvage from Alaska and the curly walnut is from woodfromthewest.com.

“Aaron and company,

#551 has arrived safe and sound.

First impressions, stout but light, a finish that doesn’t disrespect the natural beauty of years of growth, and the claw stands out even better in person. Sounds full, yet humble.

This instrument is bottom line, not a novelty item. The potential portability, without compromises in quality, leads me to believe that I will be traveling miles up and down the fretboard, and wherever else the music leads me.

Again, thanks for your kindness and craftsmanship.
A true gift.

Peace
- J. D. ”
