And
I kept this one on the simple side because of all the “Story Woods”. I find it a bit daunting that there are so many beautiful instruments being made these days. But, not a lot of these instruments are to be found with such rare woods. Tonally, the woods of this instrument speak for themselves; and, isn’t that what we’re really after anyway. I’ve got another similar build in the works but with a center sound hole and Swiss Moon for the sound board. It will be interesting to hear any differences. Nutt’n like a Story Woods Custom Ukulele.
