As a side note the next ukulele on the table is a baritone cutaway with same body size but the longer scale of 23.25 inches.  I have two 0-28vs parlors almost ready for custom orders.  One with Ancient Sitka top and the other with Smokey Mountain spruce from a very old growth tree.

Tiger Maple Baritone

Custom order

This is a custom order with very specific neck requirements.  The fun part of this build was having the older ukulele with the neck the customer likes and duplicating string spacing and thinner neck.  This is the smallest neck I have made with a carbon fiber rod and bound fret board.  The action is low and it plays like a dream.  

It is a duplicate of the previous Tiger Maple Baritone with walnut biting and rosette.  It came from the same tree with the pink in the center and there have been two Queen Anne Highboys made from the same tree.  The tone is surprising with tremendous resonance.  I enjoy making ukuleles to specific wishes as it seems to inspire a dance with the instrument that creates something special.  This one will live in the Tennessee mountains though the tree came from Pennsylvania.  


New Tenor shape with "The Tree"

The Tree

This is a special build with "The Tree" back and sides and a wonderful Redwood top.  The fretboard is a special rosewood with a new moon and planet on the third fret.  The sound is one I have to keep.
