Baritone Uke

[56nortondomy]

An unusual order. A 5 string baritone uke in the shape of a Selmer with a d hole. Also unusual is the 3 piece top which is wrc/spruce/wrc. Curly jarrah back and sides, Tasmanian oak neck and eirw bridge and Tasmanian black wood bindings. It was a nice little project to do which I slotted in between guitars. Wayne

Very unique baritone uke. Excellent craftsmanship. Love the timber choices.

Thanks Wayne. I’ve got another set of the jarrah also uke sized, I’d love to get a guitar set. Wayne

Very original. I do love the look of that jarrah. What was the reason for the three piece top? Customer couldn't decide between the two options? It makes for a unique GT stripe effect.

Thanks Mark. He wanted the top like that for it’s tone he reckons it’ll give a different response than spruce or wrc. I built him am OM half wrc and half spruce and he absolutely loves it and I was a bit sceptical but it does sound really nice. Now he’s talking about an archtop with a 3 piece top. He’s a good client I’ve built him 7 guitars 2 ukes 3 amp cabinets and a lot of other stuff so I try to do what he wants. Wayne

Classy little instrument there Wayne. It certainly is unique, I will watch out for a demo in the future.
Fine woodwork as usual.
Thank you for sharing.
