This is a pretty little soprano ukulele that actually has quite a story to tell. Originally, I had made it for my niece, Amelia, and had arranged with a friend that he would create a pony inlay for the headstock. Well, time went by, the instrument was practically finished but the inlay just wasn’t ready. So I waited and waited and at some point I gave up and put different inlays and overlays on both the body and the headstock. As soon as I was finished with the inlay work, the pony inlay from my friend arrived.<\/p>\n

Alas, the beautiful little pony no longer fit on the headstock, so what I did, believe it or not, is I made another ukulele for my niece, took the pony out of the quilted maple and inlayed it in the headstock of the new mahogany ukulele.<\/p>\n

So the quilted maple soprano body with the „mexican style“ inlays was left. I mad a new neck and added extra MOP dots to the bridge, the headstock and the fretboard. The full name is actually \u00abTesouro da Infanta Isabel\u00bb (English: \u00abPrincess Isabel’s Treasure\u00bb). I eventually gave this one to my dear mother for her birthday.<\/p>\n
