sprucehouse ukuleles
hello,
i wanted to respond to some of the posts regarding my instruments. sprucehouse ukuleles is a one-man shop located in eugene, oregon. my most affordable line, the standard series, is made with laminated mahogany (sapele, meranti, khaya or honduras) back and sides with a solid top in either mahogany or cedar. these soprano ukuleles are made as affordable, entry-level-to-intermediate instruments and have proven to be very successful sellers. if one were to judge them purely on price point, one could easily find an asian-made, all solid-wood uke for a little less. however, i believe that my standard series intruments are the least expensive luthier-built, made in the USA ukuleles available today, and they sound as good or better than ukes costing many times more. musicguymic.com agrees, and posted a video of the S-1c MgM that i make exclusively for him:

i delivered four S-0 models to artichoke music in portland, on the 17th of december, 2009, and have a couple available at pacific winds music in eugene right now. and music guy mike carries sprucehouse ukes at:

thanks for your interest, and happy holidays!
