Fellow builder here, working on my first banjo uke (for my daughter). Just ran across your channel. Great stuff. What is the nut width of your uke vs the older one?
Gotta say, the uke you built sounds awesome. I play a soprano scale vintage instrument (I think it was built by Oscar Schmidt?) and it has a great tone below the fifth fret or so but things start getting pretty plunky up higher. Not to mention super tight fret spacing
i have an old uke like yours the reason i like it better than most is because it doesn't have any sustain. i don't want banjos with sustain. i like punch and drive and percussive. if you like the old sound you don't want sustain. great vid.👍👍👍👍👍
