Cap't Bob Tech: Instrument building questions (36) RE: Tech: Instrument building questions 22 Feb 03


I have one question about the 4 - 5 piece necks. I suppose that they are made of pecies around 3/8" thick laminated toegether. If this is the case are the laminates perpendicular or parallel to the fret board?   

I've been think of building a uke with the top easily removed in order to test some different woods for sound boards. The one I built with the oak sound board doesn't sound all that bad when tuned to the higher frequencyl.   

My latest uke (just finished it today) has a manogany top, birch sides and back and a maple neck. Looks and sounds great. Finally
