I record my baritone Kala KA-B uke super quiet and with a lot of tremolo from a pick or by brushing the strings with my index finger. It sounds great but often I rest some of my right hand strumming fingers on the the top of the body and it creates a scratching / rubbing sound. I noticed this doesn't happen at all on ukes with a gloss finish. I love the sound of the instrument so I want to avoid this without changing the tone of the instrument.
Most obvious idea is don't rest my fingers there in the first place! But is there a way to polish / change the wood to make it super smooth without changing the tone? I don't care how it looks, just how it sounds. Resting my fingers a bit on the instrument helps with the technique...
Thanks so much!!
