This is the first of our new soprano ukuleles built for a customer. I am inspired by classic instruments from the early 20th century and this one strikes a good balance for me between old and new. I still want modern playability and a balanced tone, but I like the special sparkle of the older ukes. I also think this one strikes the right balance between classic elegance and handmade folk art, just like the older instruments did.

I inherited the curly Koa from Char when she retired from Mya-Moe, the walnut is urban salvage from Goby in Portland and the fir and cedar for the neck are from the carpenter ant stash.
