#559- Cedar and Walnut Alto Ukulele

Wow- this is a sweet one with a simple but unique look. The top is old growth western red cedar cut from a water tank from Vashon Island. It is has little swirling figures in it that I can’t account for, but I love. The Oregon walnut back and sides is an asymmetrical set, culled from the scrap bin at Goby in Portland. The grafted pistachio fretboard, headplate and bridge is from California orchards. Salvaged fir and walnut neck from and old floor joist from Portland.

Hi Aaron, Nicole and Henry!
I feel incredibly fortunate to be the lucky recipient of this amazing ukulele. She is an Heirloom Ukulele and I’m already thinking that I need to change my Will in order to bequeath her to someone special!
I can’t thank you enough. Maisie (Yep, I’ve already named her) looks and sounds incredible. The tone and sustain are fantastic. This is the first uke that I have owned where I have felt the music reverberate through my body when I play. Now, if that isn’t sound therapy,
I don’t know what is! She sounds AMAZING!
And...you built me exactly what was in my head, Aaron. She is 100% what I was hoping for and 200% more than I could ever have expected.
Thank you again for everything. I am going to enjoy Maisie till the cows come home!
All the best,
R. H.
