Hello Everyone,
I started my first tenor ukulele this week I just got my pre slotted 12"radius fretboard. It seems a little steep to me I like a 12" radius on a mandolin but some reason it seems to much for a ukulele.
How do you guys feel about it.
Thanks Ricky Sp8

The one I play is a 12" radius. Having gotten use to it I like it a lot.

Flat is my personal preference. When I do do radius boards they are 16".

My preference is a 12" radius. Lot's of clients love that, and others want them flat. Only you can decide what suites.

According to their website, Mya Moe uses a 12" radius.
