A lifelong player and woodworker, Dave Means started building stringed instruments as an avocation in 1995.  He has been doing set-up and repairs for over 30 years!  Since retirement from his "day job" in February, lutherie is now his full-time retirement vocation.  Being a research engineer by formal training and well-grounded in acoustical theory and practice gives Dave the know-how to make your ukulele sound right.

(Ed.) - I’ve had the occasion to play Dave’s ukes over the last few years at various ukulele festivals and they are incredible.
