Welcome to the Wonderful World of Eddy Finn Eddy Finn Ukulele Company is not just a maker of great ukes and accessories, it’s a unique lifestyle all it’s own. We take pride in building high quality ukes at very affordable prices and offer a wide variety of exotic woods that appeal to players and collectors alike. We also have a good selection of standard uke tone woods that have been the norm for many years. Offering so many varieties of wood allows us to design each model to have a unique look and tone of it’s own. We’re not saying that playing an Eddy Finn will totally change your life...but you might want to buy a pair of sunglasses and flip flops. The Attention To Detail Every step of the Eddy Finn process is a labor of love. Created by builders committed to the idea of making the best possible uke for your money. We like to think that quality still matters and that attention to detail isn’t something to ignore and that if you put all the little elements together the right way, it can yield great results. We prove that with every uke we make, whether its our least or most expensive model, we’re always striving to make it perfect. The Lifestyle Eddy Finn is really a state of mind. It’s the feeling you get when you first strike a chord. The time you lose track of navigating a familiar riff or song. It’s the mini vacation you go on when you start playing and realize you’ve been playing for an hour and didn’t know it. That’s the Eddy Finn lifestyle. Have some fun! Did you know if you hold an Eddy Finn uke to your ear you can hear the ocean? We don’t know about that but we do know that playing the uke makes you happier, reduces stress and is one of the best ways to spend your time. So pick up an Eddy Finn uke, grab a few chords and chill. About A bout M Mahogany ah Mahogany M Ma aho ogany ga any ny has h a generally straight grain and is usually free of voids and pockets.

It is very resonant across the whole frequency spectrum and is known for clear bell-like highs, pronounced mids, and strong lows. The EF-50 features a swamp ash top, back and sides and drapes it with a very cool fishbone binding! About Spalted Maple For centuries, spalted maple has been sought after for its beauty and authentic qualities. It is considered a high quality tonewood (a wood that carries sound waves well). It is said that the denseness of the Maple gives it a brighter sound than other hardwoods. The EF-24 series combines spalted maple with tortoise celluloid binding for a uke that looks and sounds like a work of art.

The wood itself is a reddish brown with grey or light brown highlights, which result in a lace pattern when properly cut.

The texture of Bubinga is fine and even, the grain is very uniform. The EF-60 series highlights the bubinga with abalone binding giving it a truly high end aesthetic look. About Mango Mango Wood comes from the same kind of tree (Mangifera spp.) as the popular tropical fruit. Mango trees can reach a height of up to 80-100 ft with a trunk diameter of around 3 to 4 ft. The wood at the center of the tree - the heartwood - can be pinkish, light or dark brown, or golden with occasional dark streaks running through it. It has a relatively coarse interlocking grain and makes our EF-80 one stunning ukulele!

Keech in 1917. The instrument achieved its greatest popularity in the 1920s and ‘30s, and combines the small scale, tuning, and playing style of a ukulele with the construction and distinctive tone of a banjo, hence the name. 12 Concert EF-BU1f Brackets: 12 Resonator: Maple Neck: Hard Maple Fingerboard: Rosewood d Flange: Flat Mini 8” Inlay: Mother Of Pearl Rim: Maple Tuners: Open Geared Hardware: Antique Brass Brasss Head: REMO Fiber Skin n Case: Gig Bag Concert EF-BU1 Brackets: 12 Resonator: Ported orte ed Back Neck: Hard Maple aplle Fingerboard: Rosewood Rossewood Flange: Flat Mini ini 8” Inlay: Mother Of Pearl Rim: Maple Tuners: Open Geared Ge eared Hardware: Antique iqu ue Brass Head: REMO Fiber Fib ber Skin Case: Gig Bag g 13 3 NEW PRODUCTS 2013 Electric Cutaway EF-3-TE Thin Body EF-TRV-C You can now get the sweet sounds of the Eddy Finn basswood tenor uke amplified with our exclusive active Finn pickup/tuner design.
