"Now I'm really getting excited. The UkeTracker system is such a super thing! Anyone having a uke from you on order feels "involved" in the process - no guessing about what's going on or where we stand, etc. Ingenious."

Welcome!
We’re Gordon & Char Mayer and Aaron Keim - a lutherie team that builds professional-grade tradition, classic, resonator, lap steel, 6-string and banjo ukuleles from stunning imported & domestic hardwoods. Our hand-made instruments start at $800.
We hand-build and hand-voice each instrument to maximize volume, tone and sustain. Every instrument is solid wood construction, has a radiused fretboard (unless otherwise requested) and has geared tuners.
We work with a number of great musicians who play and endorse our instruments.
Our focus is on playability and acoustics. We pride ourselves in perfect intonation, level frets, low action, smooth fret ends, and a "fast" neck--everything that the serious musician should demand. Read more about our design approach.
We specialize in matching the acoustic & aesthetic properties of wood to your personal taste & playing style. Throughout the site, you'll see this image:
