I've been working on a prototype soprano design to use in my ukulele building classes. I want a simple to build uke that will look great and play well. Much of the work on this uke was on jigs and fixtures to ensure intonation and a successful build for the students.
As this is a first prototype I built it from materials at hand -- cherry back, sides and neck, red cedar top and a sycamore headplate. The fingerboard and bridge are ebony and the nut and saddle are bone.
I'm really pleased with this and plan to spend today making a case for it.
