Artist Info

“The Bag End Boys write contemporary pop songs that feature melodies that sometimes swirl in neat, unexpected ways. They can also cut a fine cover version of the Beatles classic, "The Word." Most amazing is how two ukes and two voices can sound so full. Further proof that the ukulele can rock and pop like its six string relative.” - Jim Beloff, Flea Market Music

Common Ukulele Sizes

	Soprano - The traditional "small" Ukulele. is also called a "Standard" . Typical tuning "g C E A".
	Concert - A slightly larger instrument with a longer fret scale. Same tuning as a Soprano. Still gives the familiar Uke sound, but with more volume and easier fretboard access. Typical tuning "g C E A".
	Tenor - Larger still with heavier strings. This is the favorite of many players because of its larger size, bigger sound, and 17 1/2" scale. This size Uke is the one most used for six and eight string models. Can be tuned like a Soprano and Concert "g C E A" or "d G B E"
	Baritone - The largest of the Uke family. Has the loudest sound, the most bass, and is usually tuned DGBE like the thin four strings on a guitar. Typical tuning "D G B E"

Among the ukulele that Owen makes are a line of bass ukes. I played a few at the 2006 New York Ukulele Festival and they are amazing. You can believe the sound that comes from these.

Owen also designed the Kala UBass.

Mele Custom Mahogany Double-Neck Tenor

After numerous requests from Mele Ukulele customers, They've finally built this ukulele inspired by Jimmy Page's guitar! 8-string neck for strumming, 4-string for picking and soloing. The huge solid mahogany soundboard, back and sides give it a richness and resonance that's truly amazing! Ebony binding, bridge and fingerboard. Grover tuners. This is the ultimate uke for the player who has everything! Note; we sold the prototype (pictured) but we'll be building several this summer. The necks will be reversed; 4-string above and 8-string below. Check out the video for the production version played by Uncle Peter.
