Darling Ukuleles

Figured I'd show a shot of one of my ukes. They are all scratch built no kits. I love making these things and can't wait to get started on my next batch. thinking about All Zebrawood.

this one is Mahogany soundboard, back and neck, and ambrosia Maple sides with a Babinga fretboard

Very cool.

Is that a tenor or concert? It's difficult to see without a scale of sorts in the photo.

Thought about that after I posted. It's. A tenor. It also has an undersaddle pickup so I can play it through an amp. I'll post a link of me playing the second one I built later just don't laugh at the singing ; )

Do you sell them, and what would it cost...??

I once played guitar, in the days pigs wouldn't fly, I always liked the Ukulele sound and promised to myself to own one, one day, hasn't happen yet but that can change...!

Very nicely made and I reckon it will play/sounds good too...!

Cheers

I love the sound of Ukes also. When I was busy building cigarbox guitars, I actually enjoyed making Ukes more. I just wish I had some talent to play.

Very nice one you have built there. I am anxious to see the video.

Ever watch Jake Shimabukuro on you tube?

uke questions

yea I sell them on etsy. Price depends on the cost of materials. The one like the picture sold for 250.00. I only sell completed ukes.
