After working in a region that supported many luthiers, Zac discovered one particularly talented luthier that specialized in small stringed instruments. Working closely together they made their first ukulele.  This was during a time when the instrument market was being flooded with cheap Chinese knock offs. Thru this experience Zac immediately recognized the uniqueness and quality of an instrument that was made with the traditions and art  that had been passed down from generation to generation.

A tradition of  building an instrument meticulously from start to finish with only hand tools. A tradition of building each instrument to maximize its fullest potential of tonal qualities. This art takes both the skill and the well trained ear of the luthier, a quality that can not be reproduced with machines or on a production line.
