Aloha everyone! I finally fitted it with strings today (Worth browns) and got it tuned up. The next one I will make out of Hawaiian Koa and I may try some inlay in the fret board too. If anyone is interested in purchacing a custom uke from me, just let me know. I'm in the process of equiping my shop to be able to make instruments too.

That is one sweet uke. Keep up the good work and keep posting as well. Koa sounds good, I have a mango uke and it sounds really nice, and smells like Mango as well.... Aloha!! Paul |

Fink! That is SWEET! Cool grain on the walnut, it has that light line going down it, like a stringer on a surfboard. Super nice work with the Pau too. |

I am not very musically inclined to know all the various parts, but the inlays?? (are they) around the sound hole look great. What are they made of? |

A lovely, superlicious uke, indeed! What are the chances that you can post a video/audio clip so we can hear how it plays? A little bad taste is like a nice dash of paprika. [ Edited by: Carmine Verandah 2011-04-15 10:49 ] |

Looks great man. The detail in that headstock is awesome. But we need a vid of you playing to appreciate the sound! |

I thought I would have more time for recording this weekend, but somehow all my alone time got eaten up with house projects. |
