So after today's Aldrine live lesson, I learned that a custom ukulele can take up to three years with certain companies. My question would be why? What's the typical time period for a typical ukulele to reach completion?
Furthermore... why in the world would it take 2-3 years to produce a CUSTOM!?!?!?!?! Don't they have priorities..... pbbsshh? High paying cust. vs a wholesale dealer? I suppose it could be bargaining power... but why even offer a custom if it's going to take forever do complete. How do you know that within that 3 year time frame... I won't lose my hands?
The company in question is Kamaka. Kanile'a supposed takes from 4-8 months... so why the huuuuge range? I mean... 24 months is quite a difference!
Anyone else know what the custom wait period is for the other... companies or luthiers who offer customization?
