I am going to build a Tenor Pinecone !  These Pinecones with their Englemann Spruce tops and carved, 1 inch sides, and concave flame maple backs have been hugely popular.  First there was the soprano travel uke seen on the right.  Then I decided to upscale the size to the Concert seen in the center.  It was an entirely different instrument with much deeper tone and volume.  I have long thought of trying a tenor- I calculate its string length is 25% greater than the Soprano, so I have blown up the smaller plan by that percentage.  I will put a tenor neck and strings on it.  Perhaps make the concave back 1/4 inch deeper, and I suspect this might be a great sounding instrument.  It will be a fun experiment so stay tuned as I will post progress.
