My Favorite Ukuleles #1 || Interview with Luthier Brian Griffin

Since 2018, wherever I perform people ask: "What is that ukulele you're playing? Why does is sound SO good?" This interview video will answer those questions and MUCH MORE with luthier extraordinaire Brian Griffin! If you're interested in instrument building, I think you're going to enjoy our conversation. Brian builds amazing instruments using the "Kasha bracing" system for big volume & rich tone.
