Noehands ukuleles built by luthier Eduardo dos Santos Bettu from Bahia Brazil, started building over 10 years ago, he always had a passion at creating things, consistently curious of why and how things worked.  Over the years he was exposed to many arts throughout Brazil and through his travels he discovered his love for music.  Intrigued by many different instruments, the music they produced but most of all how they were constructed, this is when Eduardo’s passion for building started. The very first ukulele he built was from scraps of materials and leftover wood from carpentry, made with simple tools a simple instrument was constructed, today this very ukulele belongs to one of the greatest musicians in the history of Brazil.
