Baritone
Archtop
Ukulele

Most Ukuleles seem to be either flat top or pressed arch tops. Given my affinity for archtop instruments I decided to offer a hand carved arch top model, which are largely unavailable.

Being a baritone it is tuned DGBE like the high 4 strings of a guitar allowing easy adaptation for many players.

This example has Black Walnut back sides and neck.
The top is red cedar, bound in a traditional multi layer plastic binding.
The fingerboard is ebony.
The headstock, tailpiece are faced with Black Walnut. 🔍
