Plays nice a few things are not 100%, but hey never mind, learnt moulds are helpful, match bridge style to top material how to steam out dents.... good enjoyable experience. Also need to raise the action as I never build relief into the neck/fingerboard.

Congratulations John! It took me 7 ukes before I got one I really liked. You learn by doing so it will only get better. Good job! [:Y:] [:Y:]

Great job John. I'm working on a couple of ukes right now and hope they turn out as well as yours. So far they are better than the last one I built, so I'm improving.

Ukes are great fun, John! Congrats.

When I was building ukes, and studying them, looking at collections of old ones, I tried to build them to be so light as to float away if you put them down. It's not the only way to build, but just what I did.
