It seemed like a good day to stay in the workshop, 14 inches of snow and 8 degrees this morning.
Besides, I was ready to string up Randy's Long Neck Concert and eager to hear its voice.
The bridge had been glued on last evening. Now it is ready to be completed.

I will use the new Uke Logic strings from [email protected] in Hawaii. Randy wanted Hi G, so here they are
Before long the strings were on, the MiSi pickup installed and tested and it was time to tune it up.
I am delighted to report that this pretty little concert sounds great, Bright but rich, quick action, spot on intonation. I think Randy will be very pleased.
Big Leaf Maple body and Sitka Spruce soundboards make powerful, tuneful and lovely instruments.
A zero fret, Gotah UPT tuners and a spalted maple head plate complete the ensemble. A Long Neck Concert is simply a regular concert body with a tenor neck. First one I have built. I like the size the feel and the sound. This won't be the last I build.
