Anyone remembers Kala’s parquetry series? Actually, I remembered it a bit more astonishing when it came out. Well… :D

Since Peter himself did a quite detailed step by step tutorial on how to install them I doubt he screwed up on yours. :D http://www.pohakuukulele.com/tech-tips Anyway, I have Pegheds installed on quite a few of my ukuleles and the usability seem to differ quite a bit. Most work great, some...

Finally, the big reveal: Kala bought Pete's Revelator design! Looks like they acquired Pete's stash of korina/black limba as well. (y)

Quick question to all the builders out there: Any tips on how to prevent the tiny bit of the fretboard between nut and zero fret from chipping off? I tried widen the cut and gluing in the zero fret without putting too much pressure on it installing it but that does not feel like an elegant...

How about these? Olli built a few ukes with Pete in Wales and was looking to come up with something different. Here's a little demo: And he also has a Facebook page.

Well, of course, you need something that "works" as a soundboard (as far as I know, Claus never tried ceramic though :D ). Anyway, I doubt that it's the exact wood species that has the biggest (or even a major) impact on sound as long as you know what you're doing. What I was trying to say: A...

Exactly! My best sounding uke is an all maple concert by Claus Mohri. Anyway, I'm sure its great sound has (almost) nothing to do with the choice of wood. Here's what Claus told me about the whole timber discussion (that he stopped taking part in years ago): "There are great violins, and there...

I know, Claus did not make many of these and this might be a bit of looking for a needle in a haystack but maybe there's someone who has moved on to a bigger scale anyway and is considering selling his Mohri soprano. Just let me know! 😇 Thank you!

Thanks! We actually spent our Christmas holidays on the Canaries and this was the only Spanish tune we could come up with. :D

Hey, I just now saw your post. I am that Guy from Germany and I am still happy with the uke. Especially, ever since I tuned it down to Bb. Delightful! Here's a little song I recorded last December for our annual Christmas greetings (in standard C tuning): -->Click!<-- 😇

Thank you! (y)

As planned, I already sold one of the centennial Martins (which by the way ended up in re-investing in a Martin Baritone :D ). Anyway, I really hope to pick the Laulu soprano up in person; whenever it's ready and whenever that'll be possible again. I actually sent him the koa myself since I...

So, here's the reveal: I went with #2. (on the right) :cool: As mentioned, they're pretty close but #2 just seemed a bit more "clear sounding" to me, especially at its sweet spot around the 12th fret. Ms Bean mentioned, #2 might be better for "soloing". Well, THAT's me - sitting with his...

A few weeks ago I bought two Martin Centennial sopranos. Today I let one go. Before I put it in its case to leave for its final destination, I recorded a sound demo of both instruments. I think, they're quite similar. Anyway, I did have a definite favorite. #1...

I am selling one of my Martin Centennials. Bought two months ago in Finland. Near mint condition; exactly how I received it in September. Only 100 of these have been made in 2017. Here's the link to the original offer: https://www.kitarapaja.com/martin-style-1-centennial-uke Comes with an...
