Handcarved Archtop Ukuleles

by Luthier Toby Chennell

       

Toby Chennell's archtop ukuleles are a testament to craftsmanship and creativity. Ranging in size from soprano to bass, each instrument is entirely unique, offering a personalized experience for every player. With countless custom options available, these ukuleles are designed to reflect both the player’s personality and the timeless elegance of jazz instruments.

        

Originally born from the offcuts of Toby's basses, these ukuleles have evolved into pieces crafted from the finest tonewoods, while still honouring their sustainable roots with limited offcut editions. Renowned for their rich, resonant archtop jazz tone, over 200 have been sold worldwide - from Scotland to Australia, Malaysia to Mexico and all through Europe and America.

       

These instruments are more than ukuleles—they're a celebration of tradition, innovation, and individuality.
