Really nice! Thank you for sharing.

Uh oh. Looks like the dreaded message demon has got you Michael. Whatever it is after Se seems to be giving the forum indigestion. Try not using any...

Cordobas have a special place in my memory. I started playing because I saw a beautiful woman in New Rochelle playing a Cordoba. I know that's...

For some strange reason my post is getting cut in half. The rest should say. Se

The 2nd or 3rd ukulele I bought was a Cordoba TM-20. I played a couple at a guitar center (along with a couple of Mitchell and Fender - I won't touch...

Looks nice! That's one wsy to make a back when all you have is thin wood scraps ;) I do like that shape.... Almost, but not quite a machete.

Is there a brand of string that was not yet mentioned?

Watercolour paper, 300gsm or 600gsm, maybe oiled with linseed oil and cured, may be a useful and relatively lower cost practice medium for this type...

Using the stock Martin strings, try tuning it down to d-G-B-E (high d) and see what you think. That costs nothing. It gets more in the range of...

Another lovely day on the season, thank you all for the super songs you're bringing - I'm having a great time!

A long time ago, back in B.C. (Before Covid) I played in a group where most players seemed to SLAM their strings with gusto. I would strain to hear...

Its not hard to investigate a sound hole for yourself. Buy a low cost uke and put a sound hole in it. See what happens, thats what I did. I did post...

I've had the same thought, and this build is close. It would be all US woods except for the purpleheart I used in the inlay. Oh, wait, it has a...

I would like to use only metric system, becouse we mainly use it in Finland and I have learn it before. if something is 175cm or 5 mm tall, I know...

Alan Carruth and Tim McKnight have both researched this topic to varying degrees. You can find their respective results at Side Ports and Sound...

I used to think the hole in the upper bout was for a model that offered a pickup that hadn't been installed on some, because not everyone wants them.

Thanks for the nice welcomes.

I was skeptical until I got my first tenor with a side sound hole. It does make a difference to what I hear as a player. I have done the cover the...

Wow. Just wow. You have my sincere condolences. Bettah ukes generally sell quickly for such high-value instruments, and yours is...

Great looking uke. I really like the Flight scoop as an alternative to a cutaway. Dig those red pegs! Making a statement for sure, and a great...

Hi MarkJay, I echo the thoughts about your injury. I also understand your decision. Fabulous instrument. I'm sure the price you arrive at will be...

I hope your business is succeeding! I've been running my own business for three years now, and I understand you when you say you work seven days a...

Lovely uke. Heard good things about these. I really like the scoop. Afraid this isn't a great time for me. BLWS

Highly prized for knife handles and such. I have wanted to use it for bridge and fingerboards in an attempt to make an all US wood instrument with a...

Guitar strings :p Seriously, any normal set of steel electric guitar strings should work. Use the top four if you want GCEA. Use the middle 4 if...

I had a Cordoba Mini guitalele for awhile and thought a lot of it. It was a little longer and wider than I like so I let it go, but I have no problem...
