Recently I tuned my first ukulele to CGDA(or should I call it che-ole?) and this is the first song I've practiced.

Bach Cello Suite BWV 1007 Prelude (Youtube)

I think I recognize that uke. Proud maker, please stand up!

Your video makes you looks so much more mature!!

NIce picture...

That is a nice tone you get. How thick is the top?

When I used to play bass for a orchestra, I played the prelude every morning when I woke up. Great way to start the day. It sounds very pleasant on the Uke too!

Nice uke and sounds great Chih-Wei.

Thanks all for your kind words! Hardwood like Acacia opens up slower than regular guitar top woods. I built this one when I have not examined any ukulele.

Michael, I knew 2mm is thick enough for a smaller softwood classical, so I made this local Acacia uke top at around 1.7-1.8mm thick. I later found out it's more or less what KoAloha or Kanile'a do on their concerts.

Samuel, I love this prelude so much and playing it before going to bed always calms me. Have just memorized the allemande and I am working on the rest.

Pretty instrument an cute model. I guess she's using extra light strings.
Nice performance too.

Where did you get the plans to build your ukulele?
