I'm just curious what peoples opinions are on ukes with a flat finish.
To me, sometimes high gloss finish takes away from the beauty of the wood. In certain lighting conditions, all you see is the reflection of the lights, rather than the beauty of the wood.
I'm in the middle of making a tenor scale uke out of some of the most gorgeous walnut I've ever seen. I'm thinking about puting a flat finish on this one, but I'm wondering if I am making it harder to sell by not putting a gloss finish on it.
So, what are your opinions; flat or gloss?
