This simple ukulele is a great example of the aesthetic I strive for. It looks simple and clean, but closer looks and handling reveal small beautiful details. In Japanese culture, this is called “shibui,” which is something I strive for but will never achieve. The lightly Curly Myrtle is from a tree in Portland. The Port Orford Cedar neck was salvaged from a retired flute builder’s shop. The grafted Pistachio is from California orchards. It is light, vibrant, cheerful and subtly rich in tone.
