Augustino Loprinzi Guitars & Ukuleles<br />
The back story:<br />
Donna Loprinzi Chavis, daughter of the legendary luthier<br />
Augustino Loprinzi, is the moving force for this<br />
small yet renowned boutique provider of finely crafted<br />
ukuleles. Augustino Loprinzi began making ukuleles on<br />
a bit of a whim. Long practiced in the design<br />
and handcrafting of guitars - both classical and steel<br />
string - Augustino was approached by Herb<br />
Ohta's manager to create an instrument for the ukulele<br />
virtuoso. Ohta-San found the resulting ukulele to be<br />
a delight - and the Loprinzi name soon became<br />
a legend on these small instruments.<br />
The ukuleles are built of high quality materials and<br />
they are meant to be passed on to future generations.<br />
Loprinzi has been a longtime supporter of the Tampa<br />
Bay Ukulele Society, and they are a frequent vendor at<br />
TBUG.<br />
A highly recommended purchase for the evolved consumer.<br />
I have a Loprinzi koa wood concert ukulele with<br />
a full, rich sound that I absolutely adore.<br />
