CTrietsch handmade double back ukulele. Made with brazilian walnut that I processed myself from a slab for the back, sides, fingerboard, and bridge as well as an engelmann spruce top and a western red cedar inner back. This ukulele really projects sound well with great tone: it has both the warmth of the cedar and the clarity/brightness of the spruce. Comfortable to play with a radiused fingerboard and low string action. Check out the alternating binding position markers on the fingerboard too!

The Hawaiian Ukulele Experience is an event hosted by the Ukulele Guild of Hawaii annually to showcase an incredible array of one-of-a-kind custom ukulele made by local, national, and international ukulele builders. This year's event was hosted on Nov. 17-19th at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii and attracted amazingly talented builders and players alike. I was honored with the opportunity to exhibit 3 of my ukulele at the show this year alongside my Waialua Sky Ukulele Builders Ohana, and I was lucky enough to record a few spectacular musicians sampling my recently completed, double back, Pele Ukulele. Please enjoy the wonderful playing of: Kalei Gamiao, Bryan Tolentino, Ukulenny, Jonah Davis, Larry Santos of Ukulele Project Hawaii, John of Hana Lima "Ia, and my close friend Jesse Torres.

Available for sale: This tenor ukulele is crafted from reclaimed mahogany sourced locally. Dressed up with a beautiful sunburst finish: warm amber wood tones in the center transitioning into black near the edge. You'll see this 2 tone sunburst on the top, back, sides, AND neck. Kimo Hussey prefers a 19" scale tenor ukulele, and he sure enjoyed playing this one! The extra two inches of string length has two major impacts on the ukulele's sound and feel. First, the fret spacing is a little wider than the typical tenor ukulele but not quite as far apart as a baritone fingerboard. This gives player's a little more space to work in between frets while still being able to pull off those 5-7 fret stretches (or more!) between notes. Second, the added scale length paired with a tenor body moves the bridge about an inch lower on the body, locking the bridge saddle into that sweet spot on the ukulele where the body is widest. The result is better soundboard activation (vibration) so the ukulele responds to the lightest touch with a big, warm sound. Currently set up with a re-entrant string tuning. Specs: - 19" scale length with tenor ukulele body - 15 frets to the body, 19 frets total - 12’ Radiused fingerboard - Paua Abalone shell position markers and sound hole rosette - Hand cut Indian Rosewood fingerboard - Solid Indian Rosewood binding and bridge - Bound fingerboard and body - Reclaimed mahogany body and neck - Carbon fiber neck reinforcement - Domed top and back plates - Bell headstock design - TRIETSCH & SON hand etched scroll inlay on headstock - Graduated headstock thickness - Tune-a-lele Graph Tech black tuning machines- 6:1 ratio - Bone Nut and Saddle - Compensated Saddle for improved intonation - Water based, environmentally friendly finish Chapters: 00:00 Quick Demo 00:24 Ukulele Specs 03:28 Sound Sample 06:02 Patreon Shoutout #ukulele #luthier #custom 🎞 🎬 Join Chris' patreon for access to exclusive ukulele content at patreon.com/ChrisTrietsch 🎧🎶 Listen to Chris' debut album "Beginning Today" at ChristopherTrietsch.wixsite.com/ukulele/music 🪚 View Chris' custom, handmade CTrietsch Ukuleles at ChristopherTrietsch.wixsite.com/ukulele/ukuleles ~SOCIAL MEDIA~ 🐬 Instagram 🐬 https://www.instagram.com/ctrietschukuleles/ 🐋 Facebook 🐋 https://www.facebook.com/CTrietschUkuleles Contact: christophertrietsch.wixsite.com/ukulele/contact

Available for sale: This tenor ukulele is crafted from solid tone woods: aged curly maple for the soundboard and back. The neck and sides are also made from maple with an oak plate on both sides of the headstock. The set of maple used for this ukulele is special because it was locally sourced on the north shore of Long Island - recovered from storm downed trees. It was processed, stickered, and aged in our shop for 25+ years before being selected and used for this ukulele. This ukulele was born and raised a New Yorker! This ukulele highlights a beautiful, hand carved and stippled double leaf heel carving at the base of the neck. This elegant detail was symmetrically carved on both sides of the neck heel. The ukulele also features a player’s port, or sound port, that was designed into the upper bout of the instrument for enhanced player feedback. The headstock is shaped in the “open book” design which is echoed at the fingerboard extension for a finished look.

Available for sale: This tenor ukulele is crafted from solid tone woods: reclaimed mahogany (sourced locally) for the soundboard, back, neck, and sides. It highlights a beautiful white corian flower inlay on the headstock, complete with etched flower details. A hand carved and stippled double leaf heel carving at the base of the neck elegantly compliments the outdoor garden theme. This detail was symmetrically carved on both sides of the neck heel. This ukulele model also features a sharp cutaway in the upper bout for playing comfort on the upper frets.

Available for sale: This ukulele is crafted from solid tone woods: aged Cherry for the soundboard, back, sides, and neck. The set of cherry used for this ukulele is special because it was locally sourced on the north shore of Long Island - recovered from storm downed trees. It was processed, stickered, and aged in our shop for 25+ years before being selected and used for this ukulele. This ukulele was born and raised a New Yorker! Cherry is an excellent tone wood, and this will become your go to ukulele for any style of playing: it is comfortable to hold and has a bright, responsive voice. The radiused fingerboard and thin neck enhances player comfort - especially on those difficult to hold bar chords - and improves fretting accuracy resulting in a good, consistent tone while playing. The headstock is shaped in a “bell top” design and the maple binding along the body and fingerboard elegantly contrasts the deeper brown figuring of the cherry. This is an ukulele that you are NOT going to want to put down once you pick it up.
