2012 Tony Graziano Baritone Ukulele #598 – Spruce / Figured Koa – Hardshell Case

2012 TONY GRAZIANO BARITONE UKULELE #598

Beautiful handcrafted baritone ukulele built by respected Santa Cruz, California luthier Tony Graziano.

Built in 2012 and numbered #598, this is a particularly striking example featuring a solid spruce top paired with exceptionally figured curly koa back and sides. With a scale length measuring slightly over 20", this is Graziano's baritone size.

The figuring on the koa is outstanding, particularly across the two-piece back, with strong curl and dramatic darker grain running vertically through the body.
