I found out that my Gibson had a loose back brace, so I dropped it off at the Denver Folklore Center last month. The repair guy asked if I wanted him to graft some wood onto my chipped bridge. He said it would be hard to tell that anything had been done to it, so I said sure. I have to say he was RIGHT!
Here's how the bridge looked when I got the ukulele on New Year's Eve:
And here it is now:
I am pretty impressed. He made it look aged, so even up close under extremely bright light, it is hard to see the repair. Well worth the money! And with the repaired back brace, it seems a little louder and more resonant, too.
