My Ohana is home! Woo-hoo! I have a new luthier! Low rates and great work, that uke plays better than ever! He is going to thin the "too fat" neck of my Kala ever so little, because it hurts my hand to play it. Then it will be smoothed and tru-oiled, like the neck of a violin. I think I'll have the "fastest neck in town" LOL.
He showed me a uke he built out of white oak and red oak. It was really pretty, even though it had no bling. It sounded great, and was easy to play. I called it an "Oakulele". The neck and headstock were too heavy, I'd select a lighter wood for that....but I told him I want to talk later about a build!
