In Japanese it translates to floating world, and it is here in my floating world that I endeavor to translate wood into something as perfect as a sunset and ethereal as a
full moon. My goal has always been to build a professional grade instrument.
By that I mean an instrument that is commanding in volume, tone, and sustain.
An instrument that has no dead notes or loss of volume and articulation in the upper registers. An instrument of simple but perfect appointments with the playability and craftsmanship that a ukulele of this stature demands. I believe excellence is achieved when knowledge is combined with the patience to apply it. Building hundreds of instruments over the last several decades has also lead me to put a part of me into each creation, It is my hope, that in your hands, together we have built the perfect ukulele.
Fine aged woods, experience, and attention to detail make Ukiyo one of
the finest ukuleles available at any price.

Besides the Aero Uke, I make the Vita Uke, a standard soprano, concert and tenor uke. I use Mahogany, Flame Maple, Acacia, Cypress, and of course Koa. Each top is "tap tuned" and every fret polished to perfection. But best of all I intonate the saddle to assure that they play in tune. Each uke is finished off with custom wound strings that look cool, feel great, stay in tune and sound wonderful. To learn more, click here. |
