Tigers and Bears

Here’s a new Hula Hips, tenor ukulele custom for Ric.   He picked out this set of black, tiger stripe Myrtle wood and bear claw sitka spruce for this large body tenor.  To compliment the build I used Ebony binding, a figured Oregon Black Walnut neck and Queensland Eucalyptus burl for accents.  I’m using a new flourocarbon string set from GHS utilizing Sarah’s low “G”.  Check the picture showing the difference in size between standard tenor and hula hips.  This instrument has a lower pitch than the  standard tenor, but with more volume and sustain.
Grrrreat!
