A NEW UKULELE IS BORN

Today I finished and strung up Floyd's new Kasha tenor # 128.  it is always a thrill, and a bit of a tense moment as you first hear its song, but this is going to be a good one.  Floyd picked it up this afternoon and went home happy.

Part of the final process is leveling the frets, polishing them up to be smooth and slick.

And don't forget the pickup.  Drill a frightful big hole in the bottom center, another hole in the groove of the saddle for the piezo conduit.
Picture
Next you must fish that Piezo coax out the hole from the inside.  Not as hard as it sounds once you know how.
Picture
Then lay it in the groove and set the saddle over it.  Put the strings back on and you are done.

Hook those strings back up and lets play some music.

Got to play Floyd's new tenor today and have to agree, it is one of the better ones. Course every new build Brian does seems to be better than the last.

I was blown away by this one. Tried sneaking it out the door but Floyd caught me...
