This African Mahogany (Sapele, I think) was bought by me from a Luthier’s estate about 12 years ago. Including my time at Mya-Moe, I guess about 50 ukes have come from this pile. It feels safe and comfortable to me, which is why I grabbed it for this project. A simple alto uke with a low g. Rich but punchy. The walnut pieces are from a local tree that I milled. The rope binding adds a flashy but traditional flair.
“Hey Nicole and Aaron!
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve been really enjoying the instrument. Actually that would be an understatement.
I am completely in love : )
Thank you so much for what you do, and I wish you a warm, happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!
