Tweedy Walnut Tenor Uke

[Chuck Tweedy]

Hey all, I recently finished an all walnut tenor Uke. It is all walnut except the FB is pau ferro and the bridge is Brazilian rosewood.
This uke is my 5th ukulele. It was made for a family friend as a gift. I really didn't pay much for anything:
The walnut was leftover from an entertainment set project
The pau ferro was a cutoff slice from a guitar FB - and I'd used it as test for slotting another uke's board (so it was already slotted)
The bridge was leftover piece from a guitar project
The tuners I got in barter from someone on the MIMF many years ago
I only bought the plastic binding for the project.

It looks nice, but the sound is what makes this one special. It is just the sweetest little gem.

That's a nice instrument you've build!

Tweedy rocks the ukes, SoCal style! So versatile, that walnut.

[Bob Francis]

What a beauty!

[Randy Roberts]

That is really a nice looking uke!
I like how the flow of the top's grain "accentuates" her upper torso.
Can you describe what it is about the tone that has caught your ear?

[Bill Raymond]

Nice work, Chuck; very Tweedy walnut.

[Chuck Tweedy]

Thanks guys.
Randy, the best description I could give for the tone is very "bouncy", which really works on a Uke. And "sweet" - not harsh or brash at all. So maybe like a puppy.
I took it in to my day-job, and everyone commented on how they loved the sound. It was very popular.

Nothing succeeds like success. Good one, Chuck.

Thanks Michael.
