And
A tough build for a number of reasons. This was probably the last of the builds from 2025 with weather, temperature and supply issues. Overall, it’s a players instrument with a wonderful sound and great sustain. Just for you and you. I don’t expect to see anymore Sugi with this type of figure so let’s hear it for the last Sugi Bubinga Baritone Ukulele from my shop!
