I brought home a little concert model yesterday & I was taking its' vitals in order to fill in my database, which includes serial numbers, size, etc. of guitars and ukes, when I was surprised at the very small difference in weight from a tenor in the same line: 1/2 ounce.
This prompted me to re-weigh the tenor I got a month ago. It has gained 1/8 ounce. A second tenor I got a month ago is 1/4 oz. heavier.
Naturally I went on a weighing spree (slow day around the homestead) and got similar results. Natural hydration? Will they lose weight over the winter? (Will I?)
It is quite humid here at the moment, & just over a month ago, they were all 3 in a presumably dry warehouse in drought-stricken California (Morgan Hill).
Anyone keep tabs on ukes by weight? Is that potentially useful data? Am I stupid for not using grams the first time? (Well, yes. The scale I used is only accurate to 1/8 oz., but can measure in grams, which is more precise... now I note both.)
Thoughts?
