Starting Class

Hi, I'm Toni. And I'm just starting a class to build a concert ukulele with Master Luthier Michael DaSilva. If you haven't heard Mike makes some of the most awesome ukes in the world. I've seen many a uke but Mike's are in another class all by themselves. They are incredibly light-weight and for their size surprisingly loud! I knew after just holding one and then playing it that I needed to fine-tune (pun intended) my luthier skills.

A few years ago I got the chance to take an ukulele building class in Honolulu, Hawaii from Hana Lima I'a. There, with 5 other students we learned the "Spanish Style" construction. Now, I am ready to take my training to a new level. So, lets do it!
