Heidi Litke, Luthier
heidilitke@redsandsukuleles.com
I am a hobby luthier, building traditional hand made ukuleles and classical guitars. My path has taken me in a direction of building instruments with sustainable materials that can be gathered locally reducing the impact on our precious environment. I also use finishes that are completely non toxic.
I have been building since 2007 but in 2010 and 2011, I had an amazing opportunity to better hone my skills,, building under Robbie O'Brien, a well respected classical guitar builder at the Red Rocks Community College luthier program.
I also studied with another very well respected luthier, Edward Dick of Victor Guitars in the spring class of 2012.
Our shop is located in the heart of Prince Edward Island. My husband Rob is always by my side, managing the shop and preparing rough woods for me.
We play a variety of celtic, bluegrass and classical acoustic music. You can find us playing quiet background music in small coffee houses, corner cafes, kitchen parties, retirement communities, and farmers markets. Look us up!
