# 97, A Cocobolo and Cedar tenor got strung up today, and I am very pleased with it.

And here it is all strung up.  Wonderful clear  rich tone,  The intonation is spot on.  I have been playing this instrument for the last two hours, both with an amplifier and without.  It's MiSi pickup is doing a great job.  I love the way the pickup lets you really hear the instrument and how you are fretting it.  I got the action on this uke nice and low and the playability seems excellent.  Roger, you are going to be happy when you get home next week.  I will have it warmed up for you.

This instrument has convinced me that from now on I shall build just one ukulele at a time.  Previously I built three concurrently but I find by concentrating all of my attention on just one instrument I do a better job, able to concentrate on detail and seek perfection (an impossible goal) more readily.  I am really pleased with this instrument and with the wood combination of Cocobolo and Cedar.  I have another like it in the very early stages.
