Big Island Ukulele Group Annual Show


Here is the poster of the BIUG November show in Kona Hawaii.

The California Six


Here is a new six string tenor ukulele I finished a month or so ago. The back and sides are California Walnut also known as Claro Walnut. The top is Sinker Redwood. I have described that before, wonderful top wood. The neck is Spanish Cedar. I used my favorite strings, Worth, with a low G. It has a K&K passive pickup installed. I think it turned out well and I am hoping to sell it in our Big Island Ukelele Group annual show in Kona in November.
