Custom ukuleles : Cuban Mahogany tenor ukulele

It’s finally time to enjoy all of the labor that goes into a custom instrument! After working on this batch of ukuleles for the past couple months, the first one is finished.

This Cuban Mahogany ukulele will be headed for Australia tomorrow morning. This Cuban Mahogany has been a joy to work with. It bends very well, has an incredible tap tone with tons of volume and sustain and is some of the most beautiful material I have ever worked with. The contrast between the Cuban Mahogany and the curly Koa is a great match as well. The nice even color of the Mahogany and the wild curly colors of the Koa make a very nice match. The Cuban Mahogany will turn to a nice dark red color over time making this uke more beautiful over time.
