Well-known member
This week commemorates the third anniversary of the formation of The Ukulele Cowboy Society. On December 5, 2009, We played our first gig at a party in a hair salon in Columbus, Ohio. Folks were actually sitting in the hair dryer seats listening to the set. It was a real trip.
Couple hundred gigs later, we're still playing jazz and swing and having a fantastic time doing it. Our fan base has grown and we are looking at a bright and music-filled future. And on this auspicious occasion, we are proud to welcome Ella as the newest member to enter the hallowed halls of The Ukulele Cowboy Society.
Ella is a hand-built Baritone Ukulele crafted by Santa Cruz luthier, Tony Graziano. The instrument is solid mahogany with a rosewood radiused fretboard and bridge. It is outfitted with a MiSi pickup.
The nitro-cellulose sunburst finish was provided by Addam Stark, of Addam Stark Guitars.
It is a flat-top F-hole instrument with a soundport in the upper bass bout.
The influences for the design came from two sources (pictured below): The Alvarez Bluesman Flat-top F-hole guitar (overall design) and the Vega Arthur Godfrey Solo-Lute (fretboard design and body bindng.)
Scale length is 20"
Grover Open Backed Geared Tuners
Southcoast Linears: GCEA tuning
Soundfiles will follow after our gig next week.
Thanks for looking!
