Ukuleles (made in Cheltenham)
I make all my instruments on a rota basis, with 2012 being the next
year I focus on Ukuleles. My new soprano model and 12 fret and 14
fret Tenor Models are now
available to
order!!
New Soprano Model
Bound body, , figure of eight headstock with case from £550
My new sopranos will all have cherry necks, rosewood fingerboards, and
are all french polished in various wood options including Spruce with
spalted maple/African Blackwood/Cherry/walnut/apple/koa/myrtle etc
contact me for more details
In addition to various wood options I now offer the choice of either
animal glue, French polish(shellac finish), bone nut etc or
the animal friendly synthetic glue , Tung oil finish, micarta nut(yes,
a vegan option!!)
These models have the full fretboard 17/18 frets or 12/13
frets,your choice, the scale length is either 355mm or a more usual
length of 346mm. (Fingerboard in Various non endangered
hardwoods!!)
Peghed tuners can be added for £80 extra, friction tuners or wooden pegs are the standard choices. Gotoh tuners are normal for Tenor models, with pegheds optional
In addition to
my new soprano design i stil l will still offer my old standard soprano
Fijian mahogany or Spruce/Cherry/walnut models
will
cost £450 including a case, with the plain Koa model pictured
starting
at £550, the model pictured with binding from £650
Along with
the standard models I will be making
instruments from more unusual woods and these will be available online
only.
The
waiting time should be 9-18 months for these models depending on where
I am with other commissions, but there will be a batch
made in Spring 2012 so I should have some in stock from then too.
(There is a short video of the old Koa model on the Uke Video Page)
