Hello all,
Just took this in on consignment here at the shop. I have seen some posts previously about this maker and thought folks might enjoy seeing some photos of his work. This is a unique style, I actually have a mandolin with the same body shape that I believe was made in Kapalais shop as well.
Spruce top with Koa back and sides and a mahogany neck, this uke has a very warm full sound, perhaps due to the larger top plate and longer scale length (19"). This scale length works as a baritone or tenor. A unique example of mid century local building style here on Oahu.
