The first soprano ukulele I have made in several years! Inspired by classic island and mainland designs but with some modern updates for sound and playability. The quilted Koa was given to me by Char from Mya-Moe before she retired. The Curly claro walnut fretboard and headplate is from a gunstock blank. The fir neck is salvaged from a floor joist in Portland.

“I have really been enjoying the soprano. I tend to favor the tenor size for space on the fret board, but I find that this one is very comfortable and so well made that it actually sounds good played up the neck. I’ve also never owned a Koa instrument and I really like the “classic” ukulele sound. It also helps it looks great next to my Beansprout Tenor and Beansprout Mini 5-string Banjo...pretty soon I am going to need a bigger rack!
