a few years ago, i picked up a, open-back maple tenor... vintage 1922. well,
last week I
turned it over to a local luthier (Fred Casey) to have a period style concert
scale uke neck
made for it. I had already installed a new fibreskin head but the existing neck
needed a new
fingerboard so I thought.... hmmmm.... this could be a really fun thing to pay
around the
campfire and would blow the guitars away in volume. I always used a piece of
carpet felt
tucked into the back of the pot to tone it down, but we'll have to see what
nylon strings will
sound like.
I'll be sure to post an album when I get it back. check out
www.cfcaseyguitars.com to see
some of the incredible uke he's made.
