#698- Western Red Cedar and Myrtle Alto Ukulele

This is a sweet one. Easy to play, sounds rich and full, feels lightweight but solid and I love the look. Hot tub salvaged Western Red Cedar, Myrtle from the same board as Nicole’s ukulele, Mahogany from the Carpenter Ant stash and Pistachio from California Orchards.

Hey Aaron, Nicole, and Henry!

We received our Beansprout Alto uke the evening before leaving town on a trip. We only had time to open it up and say WOW…just WOW! The pictures did not do this little gem justice…we are thrilled with how it looks, love all the wood tones and the bird’s foot purfling…Aaron’s excellent craftsmanship shines again!! Since we have been back from vacation and had time to sit down and play, it has fast become our favorite uke. We have eight including the beautiful Beansprout Banjo Uke that y’all made for us in February. As you know all too well, each uke has its own personality, and this one shouts “play me”! It is light as a feather, has a rich and mellow tone for such a little uke, and great sustain too for a small instrument. We love that Aaron put a wound low G string on it. Each note really does ring out like a bell. Hoping one day we can purchase another Beansprout. Thanks again for the caring way you treat your customers. Looking forward to that new Clawhammer Uke book you are working on! :)
