Show us the uke Ahnko, show us the uke pleaze.
Okay, but remember... you asked for it!
Top view. Strung thru top holes with bead stoppers ala Waverly Street, and Bader 'ukuleles. I got two of these for $10 but one was thrashed- this one with larger triangular crack in body side and gouge on top. Repaired both using medium viscosity superglue, worked our well. Side crack repairs invisible, top gouge smooth but slightly different color. Also was missing tuning pegs on both so ordered ebony violin pegs size 1/4 and they fit when I enlarged the top holes to 1/4 drilling by hand twisting bit with fingers. Had to trim the pegs by 1/2 inch. and drill a hole in them for strings. Also the cast in nut was busted so I sanded it down into a zero fret then made a nut from scrap plastic (putty knife handle) and just tacked in place using one drop of superglue just in case I have to pop off and replace. I had Martin fluoro strings on my Tangi Gecko so I put these on my Carnival and will put worth clears on my Gecko later. Sounds decent but my fingers are way to big for the tiny fretboard so a tad disappointed, may sell. I got my Blue Smurfulele too that I'll restring but at least this one is a full soprano size so much easier to play.
