Hey folks, I know this is the oldest question in the book, but I am interested in hearing your thoughts on brace dimensions. I am building a concert sized Ukulele that is in the shape of a lute, a 'Ukelute'. I was thinking of two lateral braces and three fan braces as well as a bridge plate. I have built guitars only and was wondering what size to make my braces, before shaping.
Also, I notice lots of Ukuleles with a backstrip that cuts through the bridge plate. Can anyone clarify this?
I am familiar with the concept of mass as a cubed relationship and will build this uke with stiffness in mind.
Thanks so much in advance.
