STRINGING UP DEB'S UKE

First you must carefully determine where to put the string holes in the bridge.

I score each string location with the sharp point of an awl to guide the drill bit.  The AARP card is to protect the cedar if a tool should slip.

I drill the holes with a Dremel sizing the holes to the width of each string.
Picture
Switching to a hand drill for better control I widen and taper the top of the hole to protect strings from the sharp bend.
Picture
Now we are ready for the strings.  Just push a new string down the hole

Fish it out of the sound hole, tie a simple overhand knot, trim off the excess and pull the string to the tuner and tighten it up.  The uke starts singing.

And this uke sings very nicely.  I am very pleased with its song.
