Pretty cool, Mr. Bellaire.  I remember you for some really cool builds.   Different too.

This concert uke is never far from reach. It's nothing special, just a really good player.

That is nice, Rob.   My next build is going to be a concert uke.   Some parts are on the way.  No solid plans yet.   Maybe a resonator.   I play at nursing homes  a couple times a month and if it comes out a winner, I will take it there.  They like seeing different instruments.   In fact, thinking about it right now, I maybe have a better idea or what I am after.

This is Ms. Sara. She is a concert scale Ukulele made from a box that turned 100 years old this year! (while in my possession). The client brought her back by for a check up, and I was floored by how nice she really is. I offered to buy her back and he told me I couldn't afford her!

Ms. Sara.   I think I am in love.  

On the down side, I am planning to build a concert sized uke soon and I liked my plan for it.  Now I see Sara and wish for a prime old wood box.  

Those are some mighty fine and fairly doable f holes too.
