But first I had to put the tuners in.  Heres is what was needed this morning.  A little coffee,  A tapered reamer, and four Peghed tuning pegs. These Pegheds are metal, they have internal gears which deliver a 4 to 1 gear ratio, perfect for ukes.  They are light, reliable, and I like their looks.

But what is it going to sound like?
I am delighted to report that it sounds great.  Warm, lots of volume. excellent tone.
​I think Stu Fuchs will really make it sing

There are always a few tweaks.  I wanted to make the saddle a little bit higher, so here I am sawing a new one out of a chunk of buffalo bone with a jewelers saw.

Got to flatten and thin it.  This is my homemade holder.  Saves the fingers I can tell ya.

I also got the MiSi pickup installed.  This was a busy day but this uke is just about finished.

Nice! Looking good in the Fairhaven neighborhood! If Stu gets finicky—give me a call. Very nicely done, Brian.
