My Super Tenor Ukulele
I gave my ukulele away to a friends son some time ago and have been without a replacement. I’ve been hording some really cool woods for a new personal instrument but finally decided on a combination of curly, old growth redwood and India rosewood for My Super Tenor Ukulele.
Nothing fancy, just some really nice wood. The top is curly California Redwood. What a book match the curl is in this set. I’ve been told that this wood is stump wood salvage.
The back is old growth India Rosewood from Grant at Allied Lutherie. Love that purple-red color.
Embellishments were simple with a herringbone purfling and sound hole rosette. I used a mini-zipper back strip to match. The accent wood is red Australian Mallee burl.
Hey, that’s about it. I haven’t used this combination of woods before and I was pleasantly surprised with the beautiful tone of this instrument. Now I have to find time to play My Super Tenor Ukulele!
