I like to fiddle with my ukes, and my S-1 is a great sounding uke but it lacks the bark I personnaly like with a Mhg. soprano. I wanted to use ebony but I'm out and can't find more but I do have a slab of Brazillan rose wood and made a saddle for the martin. I let it settle in for a few days and kept the same strings on it. Now it is very loud and has a good bark to my heavy strumming. I made the saddle alittle higher and the buzzing stopped also. It has that vintage martin sound to me. To me its amazing the sound difference! Earlier I posted about doing the same to my Ohana sk-35 and got the same great results. Thanks, Phil
