Custom Built
Handmade for You!
During the build, I will periodically send you pictures and/or video
as I bring your new instrument to life! You can be involved every step of the way.
Let's birth this baby!
I can build a size just for you...soprano, concert, tenor or baritone. A standard ukulele includes all wood sides/back/top (like mahogany), choice of size of width at nut, choice of standard or zero fret, choice of scale length, low "G" or high "G," solid peghead, Gotoh friction peg tuners (or similar), compensated saddle, and fretboard fret markers.
