Alex' ukulele

2020

My son, Alex, turned 16 in 2020. It felt appropriate to create an instrument for the occasion. He is into ukuleles so it was an easy choice. 

I had the last, but a bit small pieces of that magnificient flame walnut used in earlier projects, so it had to be used here. The neck is the fall-off from the walnut bass's neck. The headplate is leftovers from the ziricote classical. The soundboard is sprouce and a nice piece of ziricote was used as the fretboard.
