Hi guysDue to my health I am unable to make my own cigar box intrerment,I have recenly bough a couple of factory made ukes that are great but having big hands the neck arn't wide enogh.Being unable to aford a custom job I recall a ukulele maker once telling me that a properly made uke with the right building an back removed and decent sound board fitted (I would love koa but I dought if I could aquire it in the UK) could be embasingly as good as a custum made uke costing hundreds of pounds.I was wondering if any such guys viset theses pages.I have contacted one guy that I know visets these pages but I guess he is very bussy as he is a very tanted luthier if anyone out there could make me such a uke i would b e greatfull if they would message me.I already have a quired a nice 12" x 8 3/4" x 2" box plus a piece of zebrany for the neck 2" x 2" X 24".Pictures added below Regards Mal (UK)

Hi Mal, do you mean you want somebody to build you a CBU with a wider thicker neck? or with a long scale so the frets are further apart? Where abouts in the UK are you Mal? If you are close enough maybe I can help.
Thanks for the offer Fingers but one of the guys I actually asked who I thought was a hobby luthier as agreed to make what I want.What I didn't know was he is very well known and actually makes ukes for some well none artists.I feel vey hornered.I am just waiting for a price for some ascasia for the sound board,might as well do the job right. I would love to use koa but I think I might struggle to get that in the UK.Thanks again for the offer you are very kind.Regards Mal
