This page is for our increasing number of overseas customers. I would like to write an article that will give you some tips to help you decide whether the ukuleles I make match the image you are looking for.　For example, it covers various things such as where I usually work on my productions and what kind of schedule I follow for my productions.　Today I will talk about my workshop. 

I make 30 to 35 ukuleles a year. It takes about 50 days to make one ukulele. It takes about one month for woodworking, two weeks for painting, and one week for assembly and adjustment. I make three ukuleles at a time. Once the woodworking is complete and the next three are painted, I start woodworking them. So, I actually make a new ukulele every month.

This is the workshop. All woodworking, painting, and assembly adjustments are carried out here. Although it is a small shed of about 8 square meters, it is very easy to control the temperature and humidity, so woodworking can be carried out in an ideal environment.　However, to be honest, I think work would be more efficient if the space was a little larger. I 'm aiming to build a new painting shed in about three years.

Thankfully, even a small workshop in a rural town like this one in Japan has started to attract attention from ukulele fans all over the world. I believe that if an artist works hard to create a unique ukulele that is not available from the big manufacturers, someone will definitely recognize it.

That's all for this week, I'll write another article next Saturday so stay tuned!
