A Pair For A Pair

These two ukuleles were for a couple who were repeat customers. It is a pleasure and an honor to have so many folks order another instrument, I really appreciate it!

#985- Curly Port Orford Cedar and Walnut Alto Ukulele.

This customer has a Beansprout tenor already, but wanted an alto with a low G as well. We started with a curly Port Orford Cedar top from Kevin at woodfromthewest.com. We paired it with some colorful and rich Walnut from a local tree. To finish, we dressed it up with some beautiful ombre purling. It is resonant and sweet, with a lot of tone for a small ukulele. Thanks Mary!

#982- Cherry and Walnut Baritone Ukulele. This baritone is for a repeat customer who needed a baritone tuned GCEA. We started with Nicole’ baritone as a starting point, with top, back and sides from local orchard Cherry. It is a medium density wood that is suitable for the whole body, with plenty of visual character. The neck is Mahogany, salvaged from a cabinet shop. The rest of the instrument is local Walnut. It is lightweight but solid, with a cheerful tone that I appreciate.

Thanks for keeping the lights on…
