A question for those of you who use traditional classical-style bridges with tieblocks.
Is an inlay on the tieblock strictly necessary for a ukulele? I don't have long term experience of what happens to a tieblock over the years but is there likely to be much wear on it from the strings if I don't inlay something such as bone?
I can see the logic of them on classical guitars with their greater tension and of course there's the tradition aspect with guitars as well. But for a tenor ukulele?
