I working on my own body for new ukes I will soon be making. Is there a specific ratio for the body shape, meaning upper bout, lower bout and waist widths? I have one I currently like, it has a narrow waist, like the old Hawaiian ukes but not quite as narrow. When I made violins I recall something about the "golden ratio".
Has anyone used specific ratios to design their own body or did you just base it on aesthetics?
