CHOICES

2/28/2022

I have been trying to choose the best binding for these two ukes for Klaus and Andreas.  Been bending several sets of bindings for them.  What do you think.?
Picture
After spritzing them with water and being bent over the hot pipe they set in this rack over night to dry and set the curves.  

Here is a rather dark binding to contrast with the light brown of the Cuban Mahogany.

This curly Koa might be  a gentler touch?
Picture
Or maybe the whiter curly maple?

Picture
And how about Andreas's Rosewood uke?  do you like this?
Picture
Or do you like this binding better?

Picture
These are the choices the luthier must make every day.  I will make them tomorrow.

Hey Brian, the most dark one, the first of pictures would be my choice, what is your opinion? Tha mapple, fitting to the headplate could be nice too …
