Oh man...you're going to start me thinking about building a taropatch now. I thought I was over that bug.
That looks really sweet.

I think you should go all the way and build it out of that Taro root stuff!

Dave makes a very playable Uke. This one is certainly great to look at, can't wait to hear it.
All Cuban Mahogany with Ebony.

I really love the banjo-esque inlays! Very nice taropatch.
Yes, it is Concert scale, 14-3/4". The body size is my standard "Dias" which is larger than a Martin soprano, but smaller than a Martin Concert, I use it for both soprano & concert scale.
This one is tuned GCEA all strings in unison. I've seen the C with an octave string, but not here. The owner is going to use it fCFA, an alternate tuning.
There was a thread about Cuban Mahogany recently. I think it is interesting how different this Mahogany (Pelau) is from that grown in Cuba or the US. Here's two pics of the difference.
I have always been under the impression that the difference between an 8 string uke and a taropatch is that a taropatch is concert size......sometimes with a short scale neck.

Nice sounding!
:drool: Awwwwwwwww, now I "have to" have one. Just saw a Martin sell for over $1500 on the bay....never going to pay that kind of money for one. This is an awesome little sucker
