Hello everyone!

I’m happy to introduce Bardo, a brand new ukulele model designed with one clear goal in mind: simplicity in construction—so I can offer a more affordable option without compromising on quality where it truly matters.

At the heart of the instrument is the soundboard, which remains crafted with the same care, precision, and experience that I put into all my instruments. But when it came to everything around it, I challenged myself to find minimalist, efficient solutions—stripping things down to the essential without losing soul.

Some luthiers might call it heresy, but I chose a material that’s often overlooked in traditional lutherie: a special beech plywood. It’s anything but cheap—on the contrary, it meets every requirement I had for the construction of this model.

So, why the name Bardo?
Bardo is, of course, the Italian word for bard—those wandering artists and musicians who carried their songs with them wherever they went. With this model, that’s exactly the message I want to share: take your artisanal ukulele out into the world! Don’t leave it hanging on the wall—bring it along on your adventures!
This model is tough and worry-free enough to let you do just that.

Bardo is available in Soprano and Tenor sizes… and there’s a brand new size coming soon that I’ll tell you more about in the near future!

Stay tuned!
