NUMBER 79
This fine tenor used to be my personal favorite until I built my first Kasha. It shows a tiny bit of wear, but is still a lovely instrument complete with a MiSi pickup. I kind of hate to sell it, but if it isn't getting played it needs to go. How many ukes does a guy need?

NUMBER 94
another in a line of marvelous sounding tenors made with East Indian Rosewood backs and sides and "water tank Redwood" soundboards. This Redwood is special. It comes from an old water tank from atop a New York City building. This is not "sinker Redwood" but it has been absorbing the minerals from NYC water for perhaps eighty years. It makes rich, warm sounding instruments with great volume and sustain. Water Tank Redwood has become my favorite soundboard material.

SOLD AUGUST 23RD
NUMBER 103
This is the 103rd instrument that I have built, and one of the very best. It is a Kasha Tenor with remarkable tone and clarity. Part of it's clarity of sound comes from the fine grained Port Orford Cedar soundboard. Part of it's quality of sound must be attributed to the Kasha bracing system which I am now convinced its the future of quality ukuleles.

AT LAST ! - SOME UKULELES AVAILABLE
THREE TENORS available as of April 2018
I WILL TAKE PICTURES TOMORROW AND POST THE INDIVIDUAL DATA FOR YOU. TWO OF THEM ARE TRADITIONAL FAN BRACED TENORS, BUT ONE IS A SIMPLY AMAZING KASHA BRACED TENOR.
I have now made three Kasha braced tenors and just completing a Kasha baritone I am convinced that this unique bracing system makes an instrument superior to traditional bracing. I am so in love with my first one, an East Indian Rosewood body with a Redwood soundboard that I will not sell it. I just sold the magnificent Cocobolo and Torrified Spruce #102, and it's build-mate #103 is still available. I will post it tomorrow after photographing it.

#68 $600- A perfect Engelmann Spruce top set off by the East Indian Rosewood fret board and bridge. The unbleached buffalo nut and saddle accompany the small mother of pearl marker dots on top and tiny white dots in the side of the fretboard. This one is strung with Aurora/Aquila multi-color strings and a low G. Happy to change it to re-entrant if you wish.

If you like tight tight tiger stripe this is the uke for you. As pretty a piece of maple as I have seen, finished of course with many coats of French Polish for a rich glow. The heel cap is honduran rosewood set off the walnut with a strip of maple veneer.

#69 CONCERT PINECONE
Concert Pinecone #70
SOLD TODAY 7/14/15. #70 WILL STAY IN BELLINGHAM
|
$600; Number 70 is now complete with its Peghed tuners. This is a handsome Pinecone with a really spectacular back. The big leaf maple does amazing things and when it is carved concave provides exceptional volume and tone. East Indian Rosewood fretboard on a walnut neck accents the lovely almost yellow look of the Engelmann Spruce top. These great ukuleles come equipped with Aurora/Aquila colored strings and they sound great with a low g string if you prefer. A low G can be fitted for another $3.00. Then you will have an extra re-entrant G string for a spare.

I will post pictures of it in a day or two, My iPhone just died and I must get another. In the meantime look at the pictures on this page of other pinecones. They are a great instrument. I am about to start four more that should be ready mid July
Concert #42 Price $800.00
NOT AVAILABLE, SOLD Englemann Spruce top
This lovely uke is patterned after my tenors that I call Blondes. I really like the contrasts of the Alaska Cedar and the almost identical color Englemann Spruce, with the darker backs sides and fretboard.
Englemann produces a warm clear tone and this uke is very playable. The rich fretboard and highly figured binding accents the Australian Blackwood nicely. I will add a turned rosewood strap button without cost if the buyer desires one. |
