If Rosewood fret boards crack or shrink because of humidity, why not find some other wood or maybe plastic or perhaps even metal as a substitute? I know Ebony is used, but it's probably expensive.
A metal ukulele like a National steel or Luna etc. is mostly metal. Why not the fretboard too? And mebbe even the neck . . .
Because of the above, mebbe the fluke or Flea or Blackbird or National Steel will be the coming thing. I know that wooden Ukes can be very beautiful, but not if they're cracked or twisted.
I was just wondering about this. ld:
