My first soprano ukulele build.

My little pitch haha
"The traditional, vintage look and warm tone of this solid mahogany ukulele is part of the limited edition series made in honor of Hawaiian, Duke Paoa Kahanamoku (1890-1968) who brought not only surfing to the beachside village of Freshwater, Australia in 1915, but also the Hawaiian culture and way of life."


Many thanks to the following people who provided assistance in my project: - Alvin Okami (KoAloha Ukulele Company, Hawaii USA)
