Welcome

Every ukulele I build is unique.  While I start with the same basic shape, I adjust wood thickness and bracing based on the individual properties of each piece of wood I use and the desired tonal result for the instrument.  I also like to try different decorative touches on my ukuleles.

Mu ukuleles are also truly handmade.  The tools and methods I use would not be unfamiliar to a ukulele builder from the turn of the century - the 19th century to be specific.  Everything starts as a raw material and is sawn, sanded, rasped, filed, spoke shaved, chiseled, whittled, rubbed, and finessed until it results in a ukulele.  The differences between a handmade and factory made instrument are obvious when you hold them.  The factory ukulele may be "cleaner" but the handmade ukulele has a soul.  The marks of the maker's tools are not flaws but are proof that the instrument was made by a human rather than a machine.  

Because my ukuleles are built one at a time I can customize them to my client's preferences.  For example, if you are a guitar player adding the ukulele to your repertoire I can make the nut wider, radius the fretboard and carve the neck larger than a "typical" uke so it feels more natural in your hands. If you are mainly a strummer I can build you a loud, bright sounding ukulele and if you are a solo fingerpicker I can build you a warmer, more nuanced instrument.
