Hey all
I've been trying to find some info on an old soprano uke that I'm interested in trying to restore to playable order. Haven't found much so far, however, my googling brought me here and thought I might see if somebody could point me in the right direction.
The only identifying mark of any kind is the LYRA logo on the headstock. The most curious thing is the absence of a proper saddle. There's a tiny piece of wood (see the picture below) that sticks above the left end of the bridge, and I can't rightly figure if that's simply a tiny sliver that warped a bit over time or if it's the remains of what was once the saddle. It also has it's share of paint chips and dents, but other than that, looks to be in great playing condition.
If anybody has some information they could share, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!
