BPUC is a design oriented company, and drawings are a very important part of what we do. We also offer our computer drawing skills to our customers by providing illustrations of custom made instruments before they are actually built. This gives you a chance to see what inlays and trim will look like on your instrument. We are always looking for ways to make our ukuleles sound better. This begins with the fundamental structure of the instrument, and the neck joint is a very important part. Our M style and traditionl ukuleles feature a cantilevered rock solid joint that is glued to the body. Our 12 Fret and A Style models have integrated construction where the body and neck are all one piece with no joint at all. Our exclusive pinned nut eliminates buzzing often associated with grooved nuts. It also allows the use of different string guages without replacing or regrooving the nut. When a uke sounds good you don't only hear it, you feel it, and that's what we strive for. Our uke bodies are designed to translate as much string energy as possible into sound.
