faded blue




It’s been a while coming, but the blue was already faded when I started. After tinkering with a chassis punch on the flying iris I thought I’d put it to use on a bigger tin. This uke projects its hoot and holler right out front thanks to the six sound holes in the belly. She’s bound to keep the blues away.
  • tin: 255 x 100  mm, 10 x 3 7/8 in.
  • scale length: 380 mm, 15 in.
  • head to tail: 645 mm, 25 1/2 in.
  • G .010, C .015, E .011, A .008 steel loop
  • maple neck
  • paduak fret board
  • stainless fork string anchor
  • neck tie strap
