A classic design with some small unique touches from Mother Nature! The first Beansprout model I ever built was a maple concert banjo ukulele and they always sound “right” to me. The maple rim has some spalting and bark inclusions that give it some nice color variations. The pistachio has some beautiful stripes as well. The customer asked for a low fourth string, which is a great sound. The maple is all leftover from our kitchen cabinets and the pistachio comes from California Orchards, www.woodfromthewest.com.
