Podcast 199: Joel Eckhaus (Earnest Instruments)

For most luthiers, building and repairing six string guitars pays
the bills. On this week’s podcast, we talk a luthier who has
carved out an entire career for himself building just ukuleles,
tenor guitars and the occasional mandolin. Portland, Maine’s Joel
Eckhaus talks to us about his eclectic Earnest Instruments
lineup, the fateful music lessons he took from Vaudeville music
legend Roy Smeck and much more.
