This picture was a fixture hanging on my Grandmother's bathroom wall for as long as i can remember. When she died as 96 i asked for the picture and made this Uke from it, thus preserving it for a long time!

Naked drawings on guitars.. \o/

Built this one (concert length) for my dad. Simple yet elegant (at least that's what I was going for!). Here's my best secret/tip: Use nice ukulele strings. I use Aquila Nylgut strings; they make a huge difference in the sound and playability.

here is a video of a couple of folks who stopped by my booth at the sunday artisans market in Ann Arbor. They asked if I had a uke and I gave it to them and they did a 30 min concert. I think they were from the UM Music school.

Nice. Cool fretboard

This summer, my father and I had a lot of fun making a batch of ukuleles. I'm really pleased with how this one turned out :)

This one is still up for sale! Check out our new facebook page for specs and info: https://www.facebook.com/DoubleDiamondLutherie/

This Peppermint Crunch instrument looks fantastic. Good job!
