I like your Ukelele Scruffy. Did it take long to make? How does it sound? Do you make them of others? If so I'm interested.

Please Let me know.

Scruffy,

That is AWESOME Dude, You done a fine job. Guitar is basically, ALL I play but did see an affordable Ukelele at Magicians Friend awhile back. Are they hard to play??? If anything I was thinking I could tune it to the same scale as a Guitar and play it like one eh?

Talk at ya soon!

It's beautiful! You are very talented!

GiGi :D

Pu: It took about two months to make. It is made out of mahogany, with a brazilian rosewood fingerboard. It's a lot like a martin uke (The cadillac of the us ones) It sounds great!
Sam: Uke is very easy to play. you can tune it like the first four strings of a guitar (Low to high; dgbe) and use the simplified guitar chords.. If you want a good beginners uke go to www.elderly.com and look at the bushmans. Very nice for the money. the most common uke is the soprano, (the little one like mine.)
If you are interested in one of mine please Pm me.

Scruffy, It's beautiful, wonderful workmanship. Every thought about show casing some of you work at music festivals?

You need to get Dave to put sound in here so you can leave us a sample of your music.

Inow know where Iwill buy mine when Im ready

Sue,
Getting ahold of Dave is about imossible. I have yet to have an email returned.
As far as showcasing my instruments, I have thought about it; but, thats about all. The ukes don't require a lot of space to build, and my shop is a lousy set up. I've made guitars, mandolins,a few dulcimers,a banjo, and now the uke. I have an instrument repair buiness that demands alot of time, plus work.
I believe I can produce the ukes pretty easily, which is one reason I built this one... That, and since we bought this house seven years ago, I can't find my old one!

Jamz, let me know when your ready, I ave some sweet, finely aged mahogany with your name on it!

Scruffy, we're having the Legend's festival here this weekend, it's a bluegrass festival held every year at Andrew Jackson's State Park and that what made me think of show casing at some festival, because they're going to be all different kinds of entertainers there, good luck building them.

Thats amazing!!!! I'm sure it sounds as brillent as it looks!!! A Job very well done Scruffy :D

Wow Scruffy. That not only takes talent, but the dedication and determination to see you task through! I would have persevered for about one hour before giving up! A very commendable job!!!

This is the mandolin I just finished for the daughter of a friend on the occasion of her wedding.

Scruffy you are indeed a gifted and talented artist. It looks just wonderful

Gee, Thanks....

The mandolin has a maple back and sides, a three piece maple neck, with a brazilian rosewood fingerboard and ebony bridge.
It sound great and has a tremendous amount of volume.Especially since the body is only one inch deep! it has the chopand volume of a bluegrass carved top and back, yet still has a sweet tone reminiscent of a traditional Celtic style.
I'm pretty pleased with it. I just hope that the owners will play it and treasure it.

Very Nice!!

Looks like you are quite an artisian Luthier!!

Ashes

No Sam, I don't I don't sing. And so I don't accompany myself. I did use it once in a performance. I drug it out in a big guitar case. and then pulled out the uke...
