This soprano ukulele was made for my cousin, Sarah. The components are:
Cedar top (2-piece)
Cherry back (2-piece)
Cherry sides (2-piece)
Mahogany neck
Claro walnut and cherry face plate
Cocobolo fretboard
Cherry fret markers (at 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 10th frets)
Ohi’a wood bridge
Ebony nut and saddle
Claro walnut tail stripe and heel cap
Graphtec tune-a-lele tuners
Martin M600 fluorocarbon strings
The Claro walnut, Cocobolo, Ebony, and Ohi’a were all donated by my uncle, Gerry VanNess. The cedar came from discarded shakes left in the attic of our 1924 house.
Sound sample of Hi’ilawe and Amazing Grace.
