This is my new Cigar Box Tenor Resonator Uke. It has a solid mahogany body and neck, rosewood fretboard, brass cone, carbon fiber biscuit bridge, micarta nut, Peghed geared tuners, and is currently tuned low G. I am new to building and would apreciate any feedback. Thanks.
My latest CBTRU

Looks great. Did you make the box yourself? How does it sound? Nice comfortable looking neck profile.
The box was a Smith and Wesson gun display box. I sanded it and finished it with tru oil. It sounds amazing. Loud but warm. The brass cone sounds different than the usual alluminum. I am also putting a pickup in it this afternoon.

To be more accurate it should be described as a SWGDBTRU with "bolt holes"
Yeah, sorry about that. It's the first one I've made with anything other than a cigar box. In fact, it has served as my coffee table stash box for about 15 years. It took a while for me to unlock it's true potential. So I guess SWGD/SBTRU if we're gettin' all technical.
