New D style tenor
This ukulele style was originally called a D style because the first one had Art Deco inspired trim. Then one of my customers said it looked like a Salvador Dali creation, and that stuck. It features a 2nd generation cantilevered saddle that I started using about a year and a half ago. The first saddles extended into the body and were angled for compensation. The problem was that it torqued the bridge unevenly which really didn’t have a great effect on the top, but I wanted an even pull. The newly designed bridge is taller and provides plenty of support’s without the saddle extending into the body, and is also set square with the compensation at the nut. The saddle also has two small adjustment screws on the bottom for adjusting height without the use of shims or need for a new saddle if a change in height is desired. The ukulele itself is flat sawn reclaimed ebony back and sides and reclaimed old-growth redwood top
