Ukulele Complete

Ukulele Making is complete. I made this ukulele as a gift for my closed friends they recently moved to Maui Hawaii. This ukulele has the balsa and graphite epoxy composite top with A-frame bracing. This design created a very successful result. This ukulele showed super crispy sound. I also used super thin top thickness. I also installed a graphite rod in the neck. For the finishing, I used water based acrylic lacquer spraying. So, the ukulele has enough robustness for daily use. I hope, this ukulele becomes a nice music companion for the happy couple in Maui.
