Shell back Tenor Ukulele
2025 SOLD
While visiting Monsky Gallery where I had one of my instruments, Gary the owner told me someone had dropped by and was interested in my ukulele and they would be back. Sue did come back and we had a great conversation.The one in the gallery was a baritone and she wanted a tenor. She took my card and contacted me later about coming over to my workshop and talk about her future ukulele. It was great talking to her and I was able to show the different woods I had and we came up with something special.
She wanted it to be blue like the baritone ukulele she had seen, but a tenor and have some pyrography done on it. I surprised her and did these two trees that were very special to her and part of a magical place of hers. (She had sent me pictures)
