I am selling a set of hand carved Tahitian ukuleles. They all play very nice so it could be for the player or collector. They can be purchased individually or as a set (buy the set for reduced price). Here is the info on the set:
*** The theme is the humpback whales and their annual journey from Hawaii to Alaska. The first uke in the set depicts the mother whale and calf in the Hawaiian sea where the birth takes place. The second uke depicts the whale and calf in mid-Pacific as they venture to the rich feeding waters of Alaska. The third and final uke depicts the whale and calf breaching with the Alaskan mountain range in the background.
*** One piece construction. Poplar wood
*** All components (except for the tuners) were hand made from beef bone... nut, bridge with carved waves, fret marker whale tails, headstock koru pendant, and whale tail to attach strings.
*** Each uke took me about 120 hours from start to finish, 360 total. Most of the work is invested in the fine hand carved details. The bone work took a really long time too.
*** PRICE, I am selling at $1350 per uke. They can be individually purchased. If you would like to purchase the entire set/all three ukes, I will give a $500 price reduction. OR, if you would like to purchase the full set at regular cost, I will hand carve a display holder for the three ukes... something with the whale theme.
*** The three Tahitian ukes are my second, third and fourth I have made. I have numbered and will continue to number each one.
If any questions, please let me know. I will attach a bunch of pics and audio file. Thanks for looking.
