Since I could not seem to resist making them, and because my workshop ceiling rack began filling up, selling them seemed to be the only reasonable thing to do. Now word of mouth has begun to tell the ukulele world of my instruments, Perhaps the reach of this website will allow me to continue this passion of building ukuleles and keep the number on workshop rack at a manageable size. A few years ago my grandson Evan Christie and I collaborated on designing a new travel ukulele. It is unique in that its oval shaped back is hand carved from a beautiful piece of curly maple and its concave interior gives these charming instruments, made in either soprano or concert size, simply amazing volume and tone. We had some of them made in Mexico and while the quality was good, the reliability of production has been disappointing. The Mexican ukes have all been sold and for now the only production of them will be my own.
