Bytown Ukuleles is the first endeavor of Bytown Instruments. It is a creative collaboration between two Ottawa-based artisans, Joel Jacques and Mark Rogers, who share an enthusiasm for all things ukulele. Using traditional luthery techniques of construction, we build unique, custom instruments using a variety of local, exotic, and found woods. We design and create instruments which explore the visual and sonic possibilities of the small but mighty ukulele.
