Very pretty looks and sound, forgive my ignorance. But what holds the strings at the bridge, doesn't seem to be tied?

The strings go all the way threw the bridge and there is a glass bead. it puts less pressure on the top and I think
it looks cleaner
 
Great looking Ukulele!
 
Wow, fantastic sounding, has kind of a high-end Kanile'a ring to it. Beautiful job and a bargain to boot.
 
I am so jealous! That is some nice craftsmanship. I am getting a tenor next but only a couple hundred in my uke account. If you still have this in a couple months........! I loved the intonation !!! great work!

so I assume you thread the strings in through the sound hole. It must be bigger, cause I cant get my hand in any of mine. or i guess you just drop it in and hope it gets hung up? sorry for asking again, but I haven't had the opportunity to string one like this. hope to someday.

You string it through the bridge towards the sound hole, grab the string pull it out of the sound hole. Then tie a bead on and pull it back in
 
Beautiful uke. If I didn't have too many already, I would make this one mine. Beautiful workmanship and excellent sound quality. Very pleasing to my eyes and ears!!! Great work!
 
I really like the look of the claro walnut. Sounds great too. Beautiful job.
 
Bluesuke, I see 3 areas where the binding is pulling off, do you plan to fix that?
 
I don't know what you think you see but there is nothing wrong with this ukulele . The binding is good
 
The pics you sent me, sure looked like the bottom curve of the body had a large separation, the top left near the neck and on the back below the neck. Glare?
 
What pics did I send you? I don't recall sending any one any pics these are the only pics I have posted there is no separation!!!
 
No sorry it is sold. But I have a maple back and sides with a port orford top for sale I will post pics soon
