This one is for someone who appreciates the natural flaws and the visible history of salvaged wood. The Redwood top is scrap from a guitar maker, the Myrtle back and sides are from the scrap bin at Mya-Moe when I still worked there, the Fir neck is salvaged from a floor joist and the Oak is leftover from furniture projects. The sides have a big knot in them, which I choose to celebrate (of course!) and the neck has several filled knot holes. (Still very structurally sound). It has a sweet and dusty voice that responds to a soft touch. It’s just waiting to go to the perfect owner who will appreciate it and love to play it.

“Hello Aaron, Nicole and Henry,

The Beansprout Scout ukulele #791 arrived safely yesterday. It is light and responsive, a real joy to play. Your work is amazing - scrap wood gets a new life and makes music.

I took the little Scout outdoors right away, to show it its new home in southern Finland. (A couple of photos attached.)

Thank you so much!
- Y. K. ”
