  • You're welcome UJ. Thanks for commenting.

  • Thanks Thorsten.  I like geared tuners for sure.

  • With shorter scales the intonation is definitely more critical but luckily it worked well this time. Another advice: Use different tuners these without gear don't hold the string tension very well on a Tenor. 

  • Thanks Thorsten.  I use the Stew Mag calculator also, but sometimes I seem to get off a little and the intonation suffers.  This is mostly on shorter scales.  If I can find a fret template, I want to try it that way.

  • Hi Uncle John. I have no templates but always use the Stewmac fret calculator: http://www.stewmac.com/freeinfo/Fretting/i-fretcalc.html Just type scale and number of frets and you'll get what you want.

    The tenor is not as "crisp" as a standard Ukulele. Mine is quite soft, sounds more like a Spanish guitar. I have never expected it to be as loud and good sounding as it is. 

  • PS:  How does it sound?   I was playing some Lanakai ukes a few weeks ago and they were great.  That is what got me on the buy or build dilemma. 

  • Like it and I am just yesterday and today really thinking about making a tenor uke.  I am looking for a fretting template.  Did you find one?
