Whoa! Check out that weird Myrtle set! I’m glad the customer went for it. I doubled down on the natural weirdness of this Myrtle set by choosing a pistachio fretboard with a cool knot in it and a salvaged fir neck with a couple of nail holes. It is lightweight and easy to play, with a cheerful sound. The Myrtle is from the Carpenter Ant stash, the fir is salvaged from a floor joist and the pistachio is from California orchards.

“Hello Aaron, Nicole & Henry.
I have to tell you thank you so much for the wonderful ukulele!!! The sound is beautiful, and happy, and the intonation is excellent, all the way up the fretboard. This uke really sings! The fancy pattern on the myrtle adds such character and interest, and the pistachio fretboard is lovely. The maple binding is the perfect accent for the lively myrtle, and the nail hole on the fir neck makes me laugh. And yet again, as with the Tenor that you made for me, I’m amazed at the artistry & skill that is shown at every part of this instrument. I’m thrilled to be able to play such a wonderful uke! I’m also still loving Tenor #456, which you sent back in January 2020. These instruments have truly been a bright & uplifting spot in a difficult year. Sending much appreciation!!!!
