#912- Curly Mango and Walnut Alto Ukulele
This is another stock instrument that I started months ago and left to finish for this month during my "resting" time after surgery. It started as a piece of Mango furniture that our friends Dani and Perry gave us. It was dramatically curly but also full of cracks and knots. I was still able to get some really nice pieces from it, worthy of a second life as a musical instrument. Mango sounds rich, sweet and tropical to me, which is a refreshing departure from other wood combos I've been using lately. The secondary wood is local Walnut that I harvested, which is a nice contrast to the glowing Mango. It has fluorocarbon strings, bone nut/saddle, radiused fretboard and geared Peghed brand tuners. The finish is thin and natural, allowing the textures of the different woods to be felt. It comes with a hardshell case and is available for $1600 plus shipping.
