| arched back design, floating ribs, strategic placement of our bracings, and other innovative techniques we've exclusively designed & implemented, are just some of the ukelele features we offer, which help project & amplify sound naturally. Customers will comment that our instrument will often drown out others when played in a group, as it has lot of volume & natural amplification. Our ukuleles are built somewhat similar to old MARTIN ukuleles. Randy's background in HOME building has taught him ingenious ways to build a very light, yet also very strong instrument that will last. With the exception of tuners, strings, and fretwires, our instruments are nearly 100% handmade. No other parts are ever brought in from elsewhere. They are all handmade just like our forefathers did in late 1800's. Heart & soul painstakingly goes into building each & every instrument. There are no shortcuts. For us, it is a PASSION of love and art when we create each & every ukulele. We hope everyone new & old, and future generations will enjoy them, long after we are GONE. Aloha, Randy & Lenda At our workshop, we are like family. If you have any questions, Randy is always happy to explain how its made, so feel free to drop in anytime.. |
| We are one of the last dying breed of makers that will still make ukeleles the traditional old 1800 style way of making, which we are very proud of. They are (1-piece back) which means neck & body is ONE PIECE. The neck extends 2" into the body, which was the traditional way of builing in the late 1800 to early 1900's by the Portuguese & Spanish Luthiers. This method is hardly done anymore by modern makers. Our philosphy is to try to carry on the old tradition.....as well as develop many of our own styles & techniques which will greatly enhance the sound & strength of the instrument... MADE IN Honolulu HAWAII, USA |
