Does anyone know (or know of a link) a bit of history regarding the uke design? Specifically, was there a point when wood was used for the nut and saddle? I ask because I am wondering why some makers (Kelii, KPK) still use rosewood for the nut and saddle, and not tusq or ivory or even ebony if they want to stay with wood. Is it to stick with tradition? or budget?
I've been searching everywhere online and cannot find anything.
I apologize ahead if it is a naive question. I pose the query for a bit of personal enrichment.
