Any other 1879 owners out there? I am interested to know if your bridge is off center? Mine is notably off center and wanted to know if this is standard or mine is unique? It doesnt effect the playing at all, the intonation is as good as any uke I have, but it does niggle me a little bit.
I have this exact uke -

And in the article Phillipe comments on the body shape -
"But what is unusual about this uke is the profile of the body: it is asymmetric! Yes you read correctly. This is the first time I see it. Rest assured, head, neck, rosette and bridge are aligned on the same axis (phew), but the body itself is not symmetrical about this axis. The curves are different at the top and bottom and gives this traditional aspect which is quite funny, surprising, daring, original and exciting!"
Interesting to hear what other owners think?
