My first Uke build

Posted by Steve Pollack on March 12, 2011 at 10:58pm

I am nearly done with my first build.  You can follow the progress on the album in my page. 

 

 

The box is a Romeo Y Julietta.  The neck is mahogany, the top is catalpa and the fretboard and bridge are rosewood.  I've used the Kathy Matsushita web site as a guide.  Its "mezzo soprano scale" (14 1/8 ").  I'm waiting for my Stew Mac fretting file to finish them (there leveled right now, but pretty square in profile.)
