The Alto is my all around small ukulele. It is sized in between a soprano and concert, designed to give the best of both worlds for tone and playability. The Spruce for this one is from British Columbia and is one asymmetrical piece. The curly Myrtle back and sides is from the Oregon coast. I used some spalted and multi colored Pistachio for fretboard/headplate/bridge from California orchards. The neck is a lamination of Port Orford Cedar and Walnut. I’m really pleased with the overall color palette and aesthetic of this instrument, it seems organic and peaceful to me. I also like the tone, plenty bright but with long sustain.

Hi Aaron -
Oh my gosh - what a sweet uke!! I love the sound - it’s so perky - and has so much personality!!! When I opened it up I could smell the lovely woods you used. It’s visually beautiful as well.

Thank you for being a master uke builder. I will play it - and all 3 of the ukes I have purchased from you - to the best of my ability. They all bring me joy!!

I’m so glad that 2 of my 5 grandchildren (currently ages 11 & 14) both play uke. They will inherit these beautiful instruments when I’m done with them.

All best. Thank you! I’m in love with my sweet alto!
