R... Luthier (21st C.)

Raymond Rapozo brands his work Island Ukuleles and is based in Kauai, Hawaii. He started out as a luthier in the early 1990's and makes Guitars along with all the standard sizes of Ukulele, plus Lili'u and Taropatches. His Ukuleles are usually made of Koa and come with the island of Kauai inlaid in abalone shell on the headstock.

John Ravary brands his work Raven's Archtops and is based in Maui, Hawaii. He makes Archtop Concert, Tenor and Baritone scale Ukuleles only and he hand carves everything, there is no pressing involved. He started making Ukuleles around 2005 and previously branded his Ukuleles Kolaka (Raven) Ukuleles. He makes 5 or 6 instruments a year and is a Member of the Guild of American Luthiers, Hawaii Ukulele Guild, Maui Ukulele Guild.

In 2011 he added solid body electric Ukuleles, still in archtop style, to his catalogue and in 2013 he added Mandolins and Guitars. 

Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba he make classical Guitars and Ukuleles, and considers himself a self-taught amateur

. He has been making Guitars since 2008, and all scales of Ukuleles, from Mini to Uke Bass, which he names after Hawaiian islands, since 2012. He does not take orders but does occasionally sell on what he has made.

RGS was the brand was started by Gad Reichman from Toronto, Canada and I don't think he is still making instruments at the moment as he is a full time video editor. The facebook site is not very helpful either beyond pictures, it says RGS started in 2010 and the site hasn't been updated since 2015? What is the case is he made a number of solid body, steel strung Tenor scale electric Ukulele based on famous Guitar shapes; and a few electric Guitars between 2010 and 2015

Founded in 1999 and based in Gibsons, British Columbia he mainly makes acoustic and electric Guitars under the branding Dragonfly Guitars. (nothing to do with the PDRC made Dragonfly brand)

He has made Tenor Guitars and Tenor scale Ukuleles in addition to making Guitars plus he runs a full guitar making course doing everything including rosettes, (and he does make very nice and original rosettes on his own instruments), purfling work, wood bindings and inlay. All his instruments come with an oval sound hole, (well the acoustic ones), and a heel-less bolt on neck joint

A Hawaiian luthier who made Ukuleles and Guitars on Oahu. He started production in about 1986 and died in 2005. He was well respected as a maker 

Lahaina Music is a music shop in Lahaina, Maui, but as well as selling instrument they also make them. The Website is a bit of a mess so its not obvious but they appear to mainly make electric Guitars, however they do also, or have made, Ukuleles too and from what I can find out the main luthier is Billy Riley, (or was, I have read that he started out in 2001 but was out of business by 2005. I have also read that he started in the 1990's and was out of business before 2000? I believe the shop is still going though so maybe he just makes the occasional Concert - I have only seen Concerts - Ukulele?). I don't have anything beyond this however? 

Sam Rosen is a member of the Big Island Ukulele Makers Guild and as well as making Ukuleles and doing courses on how to make a Concert scale Ukulele, (Rodney Crusat is an ex pupil of his), he runs a Big Island Arts Center / Gallery / Shop selling his own and other locally produced Ukuleles, the Holualoa 'Ukulele Gallery in Holualoa. I don't know why but he uses the brand name Beck Ukuleles for his work?
Nothing to do with Martin Beck
