Big Rusty Ukuleles 1750 Kaahumanu Avenue Greenville, SC USA
Listing Info
from the Russ Morin Woodworking web site
Russ Morin often finds himself caught between the future and the past. The 49-year-old woodworker has an aversion to power tools, but he is an avid user of YouTube. A handmade wooden high-wheel bicycle, current project, sits to one side of his workshop while a mini replica of a steam engine sits on another.
But the biggest project for Morin right now hits visitors the moment they set foot in his backyard shop near downtown Greenville. The space is a treasure trove of ukuleles. The instruments sit about the shop in various manifestations, from frame to complete body to ready for play, serving as a fascinating, if unintended, visual how-to.

Listing Info
from the Hau Kea Ukulele's web site
I was born in Oregon and raised in Waimea on the Big Isle. (Hawaii) Growing up my Grandfather was in many music groups, and also taught choir. He being 96 years of age still plays music and sings. Music is his life, music is my life.
I learned how to make the Ukulele from a lot of trial and error, Books, and instructions from my friends Noa Bonk and father John Kitakis, at Ko’olau Ukulele and Guitar Co. (I recommend their ukuleles to everyone)
