9 Jun 2019: This soprano was made of a combination of store-bought and donated woods (from my uncle, Gerry). The purchased woods are curly maple for the sides, mahogany for the top, and curly maple and mahogany for the headstock. Top and sides are made of two pieces. The donated woods are an amazing burled maple for the back, bocote for the fretboard, maple for the neck, ebony nut and saddle, and an unidentified wood (possibly rosewood or similar species) for the bridge. The fretboard was a little thinner than the ones on my other ukuleles, and I was very reluctant to drill holes for side dots. Instead, I chose to cut rectangular slots for maple fret markers (3rd, 5th, 7th, and 10th frets). The finish is four coats of Tru-Oil. The ukulele has Grover Champion friction pegs and Oasis warm high G fluorocarbon strings. The sound clip is a strummed version of Hi’ilawe.
