We are very happy to announce
our first official truly acoustic instruments, the "Compass Rose" line of ukuleles. The tone of
the Compass Rose tenor ukulele is warm, punchy, and clear with volume to spare. Our all-walnut bodied Tenor
Uke features a cantilevered exteneded fingerboard, a fan-braced top, and the familiar Turner/Renaissance
"A" line peghead. Our Ukuleles are inspired by the shape of a late 19th Century parlor
mandolin produced by the Elias Howe Instrument Co. of Boston and designed by James Orme, a Canadian luthier.
We have combined old and new elements in our design to offer the best of all worlds for discriminating
Ukulele platers of all levels of performance. We are incredibly pleased that two top acoustic musicians,
Daniel Ho and John Jorgenson (Elton John, Hellecasters, John Jorgenson Group) feel that Compass Rose has
nailed the sound they like and have made a recording-worthy instrument. |
