UKULELE LUTHIERS and HAND MADE BUILDERS

UKULELE LUTHIERS and HAND MADE BUILDERS

A new page for Got A Ukulele and for now, a work in process. This is my directory of individuals who hand make ukuleles. Includes luthiers and those who don't use the term 'luthier' but equally are making ukuleles to order by hand. Not for factory brands in other words!!

If you want a builder adding just contact me with name and ideally a website, or failing that, an email address. Listings are free, but of course you are welcome to Buy Me A Beer to say thanks!

Got A Ukulele doesn't vouch for individual builders - this is a directory to put you in touch. Do your research! ALSO - please don't blame me for dead links - I list what luthiers tell me, but if they change them and don't advise, I simply DO NOT have the time to go through these (and the clubs, and the brands, and the players etc etc) every week to check!)

    Hi Barry, I've seen a number of ads for a South African company called Fanner who kind of make them by hand (at least not a massive manufacturer) - they have some very sexy looking Baritone ukes - just wondered if you'd come across them at all?
