Bone nut/saddle Fair Price

I am a 3 month Newbie. I would like to go to a luthier to have my plastic nut/saddle apgraded to bone. (It is an entry level Uke, but I want to keep it...............you can only have one "first" ukulele)

I see inexpensive bone on-line. Should I go for that, or should I order from Bob C. as a sort of "quality control" insurance policy?

Go with Bob C. IMO,you want some control over the quality.

The bone nut saddles from online sellers Bruceweiart and Taisamlu are just fine. Never had a problem with them. In fact the luthier John Copley who I have just bought a beautiful tenor from told me he sources his bone nuts and saddles from the 2 sellers I have just mentioned.

The bigger issue is after you receive the bone nuts/saddles. It takes a little skill and experience to fit them and fine tune them so you would need to hire someone experienced anyway.

I would use what the luthier wants to use. You either trust him/her or you don't.
