Yet another Concert Uke
Yet another Concert Uke
This one was built in tandem with the last one. Everything the same except this one got some Qld. Walnut bindings, and the more traditional friction type tuners.
It's surprising to me how identical both instruments sound. I tried to make everything the same, but with wood being what it is, I've had varying success with that in the past. These are the first instruments that in a blind test, I wouldn't be able to pick them apart.
Body - Sapele
Neck - Unkown, but mahogany like (just scrap lying around)
Binding Qld. Walnut
Fret Board and Headstock overlay - Ebony
Bridge - East Indian Rosewood
Finish - Mirotone
