Luis Feu de Mesquita uses lattice bracing on his ukes. I've got one on order as the few UU'ers who own them swear by them. Here's a link to his website:

check out the hana lima website for some bracing ideas. I haven't tried any funky bracing patterns but could be fun

I've built quite a few with lattice bracing of 6K Carbon Fibre Tow / Balsa / 6K Carbon Fibre Tow. The tops are 0.8 to 0.9 mm thick.

Volume is about as loud as any ukulele I've heard. Very punchy, great sustain. It's a different sound to a conventional braced instrument. People that buy them use them more as an instrument to cut through a mix of others. Much like a banjo or mandolin does.
