We have found that this local timber works very well in ukuleles. Queensland Maple has been used for many years in the Australian guitar industry. Australian guitar manufacturer Maton have used this timber for the backs, sides and necks of most of their steel string guitars for several decades.
The timber is lightweight, resonant and easy to work with, making it ideal for backs and sides and necks. Many of the Queensland Maple pieces we stock exhibit beautiful figuring, which gives a finished instrument a stunning look
Backs/tops and sides are available for separate purchase. It is common to use the same timber for the top as for the back and sides of a ukulele, in this case order two Tops/Backs and one set of Sides. If you are use using a different timber for the top, order one Top/Back and one set of Sides.
