A standard model around here, made with local Walnut and Pistachio from California orchards. It’s just a little guy, but is stout, robust and carefully made. The sound is plenty loud, but also rich and pleasing. You keep asking for them and I’ll keep making them.

“Hi Nicole and Aaron,
I love my Beansprout banjo uke! The walnut and pistachio are beautiful, and it just feels so good to play. I’ve been working on some Clawhammer tunes from Aaron’s book, and also some fingerstyle Ragtime arrangements that sound really great on it. So fun! This is definitely the all-rounder, “great for anything I throw at it” instrument I hoped it would be, and I know I’ll get a lot of joy out of it for a long time. It’s also a privilege to play a handmade instrument of this quality at all, but especially one that was made for me.

It made me smile to find the little feather that was in the gallery photos in the case — it’ll stay there as a reminder of where and who this fine instrument came from!

Thank you so much,
- V. M. ”
