How it all began...

Yes, I know, another hobby?! We'll this I am treating more like a part time job, but it has made me no money yet...only costing money...so it is still a hobby.

I have been a woodworker for a long time, since high school. I have also loved stringed instruments, and have a pretty good heritage with blugrass music and everything that goes with that. Years ago, I pondered what it would be like to make my own mandolin instead of paying $3000 for a good one; but tossed away the idea for lack of tools, patience, know-how, etc... We'll I started a wood shop in my garage earlier this year, and fell in love with wood all over again...sounds stupid, but its true. So when the girls birthday rolled around in August, I presented them with a ukulele that I had made from a kit I bought online.



So after I finished the kit...the rest was history. So here lies the epic adventures of Syri Stringed Instruments. Lets play together!
