Hello everyone,
as luthiers in Milan (Italy) we generally build classical and acoustic guitars together with instruments for early music, such as lutes and mandolins. Recently a costomer of ours asked us for a tenor uke and after collecting informations around we projected and built our first one and I would like to have some comments or opinions on it from you guys.
As koa is kinda hard to find here we decided to use some local wood and went with Italian flamed walnut for back, sides and neck. Soundboard is mahogany, Malaysian Blackwood for bridge and fingerboard and I inlayed a MOP decoration in the headstock on customer's design, vibrating lenth is 430mm.
Feel free to be honest in your comments, need to know everything you think about it, thanks.
