Tweedy Walnut Tenor Uke
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2015 11:13 pm
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.
