Commission a Handcrafted Ukulele

Each instrument is individually built for musicians seeking a unique voice, not a factory product.

Each ukulele is built one at a time in Rome by luthier Francesco Verginelli, combining traditional craftsmanship with a refined aesthetic and a unique voice.

Limited production – only a small number of instruments are made each year.

Each instrument is built individually — no mass production, no templates.

Your Instrument, Your Sound

Every ukulele is designed around the player. From tonewoods to aesthetic details, each element is carefully selected to create an instrument that reflects your musical identity.

No two instruments are alike — each one is a unique piece, both visually and acoustically.

Pricing

Each instrument is made to order. Prices typically start from €2500, depending on size, materials, level of customization, and complexity.

A detailed quote is provided after the initial consultation.

Each project is discussed in detail before any commitment is required.

Visual Preview Before Construction

You will receive detailed renderings of your instrument with the selected tonewoods before the build begins.

This ensures full control over the final aesthetic.

You will know exactly how your instrument will look before it is built.

The Process

1. Initial Contact – We discuss your ideas, preferences, and musical needs.
2. Design & Materials – Selection of tonewoods, dimensions, and visual details.
3. Approval – Final design is confirmed before construction begins.
4. Build – The ukulele is handcrafted over several months.
5. Completion – Final setup, sound check, and delivery.

Due to the time required for each instrument, only a limited number of commissions are accepted.

Tonewoods & Craftsmanship

I work with carefully selected tonewoods such as Italian spruce, cedar, hawaiian koa, Indian rosewood, ziricote, maple, and other fine woods.

Each instrument is built with attention to detail, ensuring balance, projection, and long-term stability.

Why Choose a Custom Ukulele?

A handcrafted instrument offers a level of attention and individuality that cannot be achieved in mass production.

It is built specifically for you — in sound, feel, and aesthetics.

No obligation — just an initial conversation about your instrument.
