O.K. I have 3 tv pals and I've been trying to improve the sound. They intonate spot on so... I tooks some african blackwood made an 1/8th square piece and slid it in behind the formed saddle. This does two things, first the sound board dishes really bad in front of the bridge which makes the saddle move toward the nut, which is bad so the new saddle puts the scale back right. Second, the blackwood gives it way better tone and sustain. But the uke had to get used to the new setup, so after about a week it really sings. To my ears its unbelievable the change in sound. Oh.. I put freemont blacklines medium on also first and it sounded better but the blackwood is the money. Just an FYI Dismount
