The tenor ukulele is finished! The ukulele was strung up with Kamaka low "G" strings and slowly tuned to pitch. I never know how the instrument is going to sound until the very end. Tenor ukulele #006 did not disappoint. I could feel the vibrations from the ukulele from my initial strums. A good sign. It is the best sounding ukulele I have made to date.

The Tenor looks, sounds, feels and plays unbelievably!.The resonance and sustain is incredible. It seems like I haven't put it down since receiving it. Thanks so much Bob. It is fantastic.
