Hobart Repair Person Needed

Post by Allen » Tue Jan 11, 2022 10:38 am

I have a tenor uke in Hobart that has a back seam blemish most likey caused in the long shipping time from Cairns to Tassie in December.

Is there someone that can have a look at it? Most likey just needs a bit of flattening with P2000 and a buff.

What do you think causes that, Humidity ?
I have seen it on a couple of ukes.

Yes. It would be humidity. Seen it several times.

I have contacted a luthier in Hobart who is going to have a look at it. Hopefully it's just a matter of a level and buff.
