antica ukuleleria allegro
ain’t she sweet? a sopranino, how cute….. and tuned like a “normal” uke, not an octave higher like the iukes. the combination of both was interesting enough to give it a go. the fact that the whole body and neck are carved from a single piece of mahogany comes as an engineering bonus on top….
