The information I got from Frederico Vento. He's been making ukuleles and guitars for about 10 years now and puts a lot of heart into each one. The standard model features solid koa neck, fingerboard, bridge and body all made in his shop. He says his bracing makes his ukuleles last for years of playing. Once he buys the logs he takes the choicest wood to make his ukuleles even using high grade koa on his least expensive models. He does it all, even the high gloss finish that looks so nice. When Frederico was a teenager he worked in the automotive business as a sprayman before moving on to working with wood. He is based out of Hilo and also makes koa guitars. Happy to carry Vento at Uke Republic.
