Following on from the debate in another thread lets do a survey.
I'm just not going to classify a ukulele with a belly(bridge higher than the sides) as a fault that needs to be fixed.
Anyway. If your brave enough please put a straight edge across your ukulele just behind the bridge and see if its dead flat, if the bridge is a little higher than the edges of it the bridge is a little lower than the edges.
Again I'm not going to classify any of these conditions as a fault but if we get enough response we will have a good sample to see what's "Normal".
Out of 12 acoustic ukuleles.
6, had the bridge higher than the edges
4, had the bridge lower than the edges
2, dead flat.
Of the 2 that were dead flat 1 has a top that is just WAY too thick. The other has a VERY heavy bridge.
The 4 that were lower than the edges had a wave like shape. High edges, curves down and then raises again for the bridge.
Lets see where the truth lies.
Thanks, Anthony
