Ukulele 154 is strung up and singing and it is sounding great.
I am extremely pleased with the tonal qualities of this ukulele. The bear claw spruce and East Indian Rosewood combination has made a rich, warm and powerful instrument, as good as any I have built. I have been playing it for the last hour. Its intonation is right on, the sustain is impressive, this is an excellent wood combination. Cazzie is going to love it when it arrives in Spain, but first I have a pickup to install and some playing it to do.
Next to be singing is Michael's bearclaw Spruce and mahogany uke having its bridge put on right now. I will string it up and start playing it Sunday and expect it to be excellent. This is a proven wood combination. In fact the woods of my personal uke.
