  • Thanks, K. I like the sound...a little deeper than a baritone uke, but not guitarish either. I tried string trimmer line (.080) on the low string just to see how it sounded...much like a string bass, but softer than I wanted. Great in a small group, but probably needs a pickup for the larger uke group.

    No bracing yet. I may put some under the bridge to see how that sounds.

  • looks cool bro sound any good? braced or not?
