Oops... a keeper, perhaps.

This is one of the two piccolos that are almost complete. It's also one of the best ever. But yesterday when I glued the bridge on, it shifted a bit and is now a wee bit slanted. Not much at all, and I'm positive I can sort the intonation perfectly.

But it means it'll stay with me, or maybe I'll give to Li. She really wanted a moustache bridge, but this would be her third uke and I won't charge her.

  2. As always with the piccolos, it's a one piece bridge-saddle. It's already compensated with an extra curve under the C-string. The problem is that the bridge isn't at a perfectly right angle to the centerline. So the g-string will be 2/3 of a mm longer than the A-string.

    I'll tell you all what happens with this one.
