This ukulele was designed and started in early 2007, and is the first of the MAKAIO Ukuleles to be made with all Australian tonewoods. I expect to finish this ukulele in late 2008. The ukulele will have a traditional fan braced soundboard with a ladder braced back. The soundboard will be built with a 25 ft radius domed profile, while the back will be built with a 15 ft domed profile. The neck will be designed as a long scale neck with a 14 fret body connection, and will be reinforced using a carbon fibre stiffening rod.

Soundboard/Back/Sides: Tasmanian Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon)
