Fan vs X Bracing Tests with Worth Browns and Custom Set-Is there a difference?
One of the people that I play with when I am in Perth, Western Australia is an amateur luthier. I say amateur only because he never sells any of his work. He either raffles them off to benefit children in hospital who are learning music while there or gives them away to friends.
He has just completed a batch of Ukes that have either fan or ladder bracing to see how the different bracing affected the tone. Each uke with the different bracing type was strung with Worth Browns or with a Frankenstein set that I have been using for a while now and that has been packaged by a well known online string shop.
He explains it all in the post he just uploaded to his website on June 3rd.
I just posted this in the Luthiers section and thought that some of you guys might also find it an interesting read.
