Baritone Ukulele 2021
Sold
I first met Peter at The Royal city ukulele festival in Guelph, Ontario. He came by my booth and was interested in buying one of my instruments. (I think I sold the one he was interested in)
A year or so later he contacted me about making one especially for him. He took a nice drive and came for a visit. I showed him the woods in my workshop and we talked and jammed for awhile. It was really nice connecting with Peter. Months later he came back to pick it up and he was delighted. We jammed some more and talked. Fran his partner who came along was also so nice to meet. I could tell she was so happy for Peter.
Peter has kept in touch and it’s one more reason I love doing this.

"Hi Ray,
So it’s been a week and a half that I’ve had the ukulele home and I am loving it.
“I am constantly finding small areas of detail about the woodwork that make me smile. I really like the feel of the neck and how easy it is for me to play. That bit of extra width works great and I am finding the sounds that work for me. Thank you.
All the best,
Peter”
