Listing Info
from the Snowshoe Ukulele web site
Snowshoe Ukulele Company started out simply in 2005 with the building of a mahogany soprano to play around the summer campfires. That didn’t turn out as planned as every time the uke would come out, someone new wanted to buy it. Thus the first orders were taken and have been growing since. The names have changed to protect the innocent. So if you find a Stephen Paul or Northern Ukulele in a pawn shops, we all had to start somewhere! That first soprano is still here in the shop and played often. Check out our website and keep coming back as we’re in the process of building it.
Snowshoe Ukulele Company is a small New England shop where old world traditions and modern techniques are blended together to make the finest Heirloom quality ukuleles. I started building guitars in 1986, while I was in high school. My first guitar was a telecaster style electric with an all out sunburst finish. While my tobacco sunburst finishes are quite different from that first endeavor, I’m still proud of my results back then. I ended up doing quite a lot of custom paint work on guitars and built several as a result of that first venture. In 2000, I left the auto body and paint world behind, and started working for Lucent Technologies Specialty Fiber Optic Division where I still work in the Test Engineering and Reliability Lab.
