Completed, at last!

So. Here's the group pic I've waited to take. Stringing up, tuning, de-stringing and adjusting, re-stringing, tuning once then twice again...

Hard work I tell you! But they are done. Maybe one of them needs a bit of tweaking at the bridge, but I don't have to ship that one until maybe wednesday.

And these were made for having some stock. But they're all sold now.

I started on three more this morning.

And yes, one is pink. It's for Aya, and I do hope it's the right nuance.

  1. they're all lovely but I think I like the one second from right (with the slightly asymmetric pegs) the best.

  2. Ah, that is useful information. And... do you prefer low or high action?

    Did you see the vid of the batch on YT?

  3. just watched the video last night. very pretty sounds. are you tuning them in standard C tuning? I tune my little Ohana sopranino up a fourth (F tuning).

    as to action, most of my ukes are kind of middle. too low and you get rattles (especially when you attack the strings like I do), too high and you get intonation issues up the neck.

  4. In the vid, they are (sort of) in D. At least at the outset.
