I met him in “Big Island”.Then I visited his workshop at the northern part of the island and bought this one.Top,side and back are made of mango wood.
She has a very sophisticated and clear sound.Especially,her high sound surprised me.It has a different taste from Koa ukes.His ukes are seldom seen in Japan.
He just makes about 30 guitars and 20 ukuleles in a year.He uses the mini tuner of Grober Co. So the head part is a little heavy but it is easy to tune.
The body material is thinner and makes a nice sound.This is one of my favorites.I am eager to get one more.But I heard to wait for about two years.
He says this model is a standard style.
