This instrument is part of a set with a matching tenor guitar, #687. As always, I’m trying to balance the best of ukulele tradition with my own ideas. This one has a slightly wider fretboard by customer request and I find it very easy to play. The curly Mahogany is from a guitar builders scrap pile and the Spanish Cedar neck and Texas Ebony fretboard are from a retired banjo builder. The sound is warm, but percussive, just what I would want with a soprano.
