Hello,
I recently purchased a beautiful Pineapple Sunday ukulele, and I had a quick question for anyone else who owns one.
In between the sound hole and the bridge, there is a sort of "dent" or valley in the wood. Its a bit hard to describe, and it's somewhat subtle, but it is definitely there. Sort of like if you imagined that the wood was malleable, and someone put strings on and the tension sort of pulled the bridge down, making a dent in the wood between it and the sound hole.
To put it another way, if you were to put a ruler underneath the strings just above the bridge, it would not be flat against the wood because the wood sinks in there, and then levels back out as it reaches the sides of the ukulele. I took a couple pictures with a pencil across this area so you can see the small gap underneath.
I was writing to see if this is normal for the PS's? I know all the other ukes i've seen have been flat across the top, not indented... The uke sounds good I think (I'm a beginner so who knows), so I was just curious. I want to be sure the uke hasn't warped somehow or something.
