3 Luthiers & Builders - South Carolina
Russ Morin Woodworking
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.

Ryan picked up a ukulele a few years ago and hasn't looked back.Ryan is a music minister in a church and has found it to be a new avenue of music ministry. After playing a bit, Ryan looked around for a more advanced instrument. There were many choices available, but not "exactly" what he was looking for. In his my internet search, he came across a wonderful guitar and ukulele builder, Jay Lichty.
Ryan even had the pleasure of meeting him at his shop in North Carolina. After talking to him, Ryan decided to build one of his own. You will see a strong influence of the Lichty style and look in the ukuleles of Ryan's Ukes. LearningUkulele.com encourages you to check Jay Lichty out too.

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)
