Both sound great and very well played!

Thanks everybody. I usually do wide necks Andries. Its better for fingers. And I have plenty of wood, thats luxus in otherwise budget builds. Yes the Wood box is better, more flexible. On the tin box I have to use force to get resonance

Love the tin ! Eero ,The wood one sounds better Thow or your chords ware better ! Fine play on two  fine looking builds ,I see you made the necks wider for better vinger plasement, did you do on purpose for more guitar like handling of the UKE ? Greeeeetings from Holland !

WOW on the playing, Eero.  Nice tone too.  I love the looks of that tin and first uke.   I enjoy your artful builds.

Fabulous Eero. You play them as beautiful as they look. I like the classical slotted heads. Love the old tin. First rate all the way. Thanks for the treat.
