When Roy Smeck had the idea for the Vita Uke harmony produced a complete range. I have only ever seen the poor condition sopranos and have made quite a few. However, this concert size is my absolute favourite ukulele:
This has an Alpine spruce front that is bound with rosewood. An Oregon myrtle back and sides with Brazilian mahogany neck fitted with Gotoh planetary tuners.
Obviously has a high gloss lacquer finish and the classic no binding to the back.
After making about 10 of these I've eventually figured out how to put them together. The tone and volume from these is remarkably sweet and strong. I could make these every day of the week!
