There’s a good story, “Close to Perfect,” in Sunday’s Austin Statesman about Central Texas’s own Collings Guitars, which tells us that they also turn out about 350 deluxe ukuleles a year. Take a look, and watch the video. Interested in buying one? Elderly Music, in Ann Arbor, MI, sells them.

Great article, thanks for sharing! – Collings does tours of their work space almost every Friday afternoon – I highly recommend the tour – call them to be sure they’re doing it before heading over. 🙂
