Phil Davidson Handmade Tenor Ukulele (2022)

Handmade in the Forest of Dean, England, this Phil Davidson tenor ukulele is a modern British luthier-built instrument completed in June 2022.

Built using carefully selected tonewoods and quality materials throughout, it combines a solid Sitka spruce top with striking AAA grade tiger-flamed maple back, sides and neck. Abalone detailing, ebony fittings and traditional herringbone purfling complete the instrument that is both visually attractive and thoughtfully constructed.

Rather than a factory-produced ukulele, this is an individually built instrument from a respected British maker. The result is a tenor ukulele with a distinctive appearance with a comfortable playing feel.

This ukulele will appeal to players looking for a handmade British-built instrument with premium materials and attractive cosmetic appointments.

Taken as a whole, this is a well-made modern tenor ukulele that offers the character and individuality of a hand-built instrument rather than a mass-produced alternative.
