The Penberthy 1

A custom order for Gary Penberthy, we built this spectacular Ukulele in conjunction with the Asher 1. Both are similar builds but with slight variations on top woods and size. 

The top is Sitka Spruce – I love the tonal qualities of Sitka Spruce – while the rest is almost entirely Brazilian Rosewood. All the Brazilian Rosewood is supplied through the Penberthy Collection.  The Brazillian Rosewood back and sides create a fully rounded sound and awesome resonance.
