In honor of my mya moe uke's birthday today! As well as a thread I read yesterday about the cost of certain custom uke's...
I am hoping to start a discussion about the costs of building uke's. Specifically customs but if some of you know about production uke's that would be interesting as well. Sort of a Freakonomics of uke's.
This summer I visited the mya moe shop. Before I arrived I was under the impression that four figures was alot for a uke. After seeing the shop, equipment, wood, supplies, and most importantly specialized artistic labor, I was convinced their uke's are a bargain.
I think it would be great if people just starting to think about a custom could look here to better understand the economics of luthierie.
