An electric soprano ukulele by luthier Rob Collins
Last year I made several of these no-frills electric soprano ukuleles.
Would anyone be interested in a larger model, ie concert or tenor in the same style?

Curvy sounds music shop in Heaton now stocks handmade instruments by Rob Collins.
Had a lovely visit to Curvy Sounds today.
I'm excited to see my instruments for sale in the shop window.
It's a gem of a place and the folks there are knowledgeable and friendly with a great range of new and vintage instruments to choose from.

Chrome metal tuning peg with cream plastic button. Soon to be installed on this padauk concert ukulele by Rob Collins.
I settled on Grover friction tuners with cream coloured buttons to compliment the padauk wood on this concert ukulele.

My newest model, available now. The mandolin has a sweet tone when played softly and really comes alive when played harder.

It does have an asymmetric design. The fretboards have side dots. Also the tenor has the nut slots cut for a low g string set

The plan is to use Western red cedar for the top. It's a combo I have used before, great for classical or finger style with a fast attack and plenty of volume.
