Featuring exclusive artwork by Australian Aboriginal artist Evelyn Young, this ukulele tells a story of nature, heritage, and community.

Crafted from high-quality tonewoods and built for exceptional resonance, this concert-size ukulele is perfect for players seeking beautiful tone, cultural artistry, and professional playability — whether you’re performing on stage, recording in the studio, or playing around the campfire.

Each Desert Storylines ukulele includes a custom logo gig bag and contributes royalties directly to the artists.


🎨 About the Artwork – “Blackwood Apple” by Evelyn Young

“This painting is about the bush food called ‘Black Apple’ or ‘Bush Plum.’ The black apple looks like a plum but with seeds. Where I live, we still collect food from the bush like we have for generations — they are always there, in our country for us to collect. We try to teach the next generation to respect country and pass on our knowledge to them.”
Evelyn Young

This design celebrates connection to land and ancestral knowledge, blending traditional symbolism with modern craftsmanship. Each ukulele features Evelyn’s vibrant dot-painting style, reflecting the deep roots of Aboriginal storytelling and nature.
