THE HOLY GRAIL

1/1/2015

BRASILIAN ROSEWOOD has long been considered the Holy Grail of instrument woods.  I think I am now a believer.  I just strung up my first Brazilian uke.  Brazilian back and sides and Englemann Spruce top.  Oh Wow, this is indeed a wonderful sounding uke.  I put Southcoast HML RW strings on it, the same as on my long time favorite uke, a Koa/Englemann Spruce Blonde.  This new uke beats it.  The jury is still out,  I want to play it for a few days, but this might be the best uke I have built.  This has been a wonderful class of three tenors, maybe the best I have built.
