Tenor Ukulele by Michael J King

I have just finished my tenor, and uploaded a video to youtube, This was meant to be a very basic instrument for myself to play and to have something to show people so I can make more, the problem of being an instrument maker who mainly makes custom made early instruments is that I never seem to have any instruments completed!!
I uses Sapele for this example, The fingerboard has a single pearl inlay at the 7th fret, cedar neck, ebony faceplate, stamped on the reverse. wood pegs and Aquila strings at the moment
I will have this and a few more at the Ukulele Festival here in Cheltenham (June!!)

Picture of the body of the instrument:

I found a company in Northamptonshire (UK) that makes metal stamps that I have used on the reverse of my headstocks, they don't have a website, but if any of you are interested I can send you their email and phone number, just PM me!

That's a beauty, sounds great too. Nice job.

Yes please Michael - I have a brand... Just one crit. Try making the bridge a bit bigger or along 'classic guitar' lines. It looks very 'lonely' there, stuck in the middle.

Thanks Pete, its good to get some critical feedback, When I made a baritone Uke before I used a pin bridge but I thought I could get away with something more minimal with the tenor, I think the bridge I used was 3mm wider than my Soprano bridge and longer but its still small, I will do classical one for my next tenor.

BTW, I used Titebond for the body following your methods, which went really quick!!(thanks again!!) The neck is bolt on like your earlier method(seems to hold well to me, though I did superglue the insert into the cedar) I used a very slow set epoxy adhesive for the joint to the body, and then I used hot animal glue for the fingerboard and bridge!! The finish was very minlmal too, oil sanding followed by shellac

sounds awesome. Love your cover of ice cream

wow she sounds and looks great man ! id buy one lol
