A couple questions..
1. What do you think is the most common failure in a uke as a result of construction?
2. Are certain failures more common in certain styles of instruments?
3. What do you think is the appropriate period of time, under tension, that you can say an instrument, or a component, hasn't failed? For example, "the top has held up over X amount of time so I feel comfortable not using a bridge patch."
Anyone have any more? I think some of this goes back to the discussion about copying first and experimenting later. At what point can a builder gain confidence in his procedure?
