lemme clarify that , the bridge popped off trees uke that I built. the first one i did. i used bottled hide glue. I asked around here on the nation about how to use it and if it was any good but as usual got no responses. so I used it like i thought would be right . but still was unsure of its actual ( goodness) compared to the boil in a blue pot stuff. anyway thats why im the "little fish" ? sure is funny when you buy something that answers questions around here everyone bitches and moans like a three dollar whore not getting paid about paying for shit. but when you actually ask for free advice ....... well the old addage , YA GET WHAT CHA PAY FOR
well , now that trees says the bridge popped off his uke im concerned this glue isnt gonna hold, im thinking of putting a couple small screws in the bridge but wondering if that will mess up the sound ? dang bottled hide glue anyway
thats a good question Unk, I dont know the answer to it . i can say its just as projected as the ukes that hang on the shelf at guitar center. But i can say this. its tone is much better than the ones there . the bracing may be helping. and the bridge plate underneath ? i have noticed on cbg builds when i dont put any holes on my poplar neck builds they project with much more fantastic tone. So i get cha . but in this particular instance i see or hear no adverse effects . if i had made the hole and inch smaller in diameter ?? i may have had twice the projection though ? time and building and more experimentation will tell. thanks for the comments and also enqiries i appreciate them. thanks too clock. Oh John you got lucky on the outside pics too. cause its snowing like a Biotchi right now. better than cords and plugs right .
Beauty. I love the big central sound holes. Huh. Now after saying that, I think it might be too big for best sound. I hope I am wrong. How does it sound?

Good deal, Anthony. Glad it sounds good. Sound holes are tricky and I think more art than science. Snowing like a Biotchi? That sounds bad.
