Pete Howlett Wyndhover Solidbody Korina Concert Ukulele in bag

Pete Howlett - maker of lovely things with a bit of vintage flair... sure. But he also has a fantastic history when it comes to the innovative weird and wonderfulness of solid body Ukuleles.

This newer shape known with much affection as the 'Wyndhover' is made by Pete in his Gwynedd workshop and this instrument has class, mojo and a design that sits somewhere between futurism and steam punk! The finish is great but not completely perfect, the body has arrived with a couple of tiny pits and scratches that are just far too small to show up in photos. This is to be expected from a workshop instrument and to make up for it we have included a gigbag with the instrument.

The body and headstock are made out of Korina and the fingerboard, bridge and bridge pins are made of leadwood (Mgurure). The pickup is manufactured by Artec and the homemade wood matched volume knob might as well be the metephorical cherry on top of this cool, practical and eccentric Uke/cake. Scale length is 385mm. Nut width is 36mm. It has Worth BM strings on, and sounds and feels marvellous for them.

Finally, a special shout out to the Gibson inspired side way Gotoh Planetary tuners!

..So cool.
