Cyrus shapes bowls and ukuleles from Lana'i
woods: koa, milo, avocado, pine, macadamia, kamani, mountain apple, onia,
cyprus, eucalyptus, kukui and kou.
Each bowl and ukulele is unique in it's shape.
The ukeleles combine a variety of Lana'i woods, number of holes, inlay, scratchboard design and number of strings, head design and combination of body and neck. But they are not just to look at. Jake Shimabukuro says that the sound that comes from his ukes is amazing. Come by the gallery to take a listen. |
