Concert Ukulele
Posted: Sat May 11, 2024 4:58 pm
A new concert ukulele. Fan-braced Engelmann Spruce with European Maple back and sides. Blackwood neck and ziricote finger board, ebony bridge and tortoise-shell binding. Hannahbach strings and a hardened shellac finish.
Two routing accidents destroyed one neck and nearly a second - I understand better why people invest time and effort jigs to hold work securely rather routing more "free-hand".
Very happy with the tone and playability, and with the overall look. Will try to make up a sound sample, as I have impressed myself this time!
