Any of our Ukes with the high gloss shellac finish have a diminished volume, pretty as they are to look at. Also you didn't mention whether the fret markers are a smooth glide - have come across some Ukes with fret bars not as finely filed on the very outside edges and so can be rough on the finger tips as one slides up of down the frets in chording. Thanks - beautiful instrument for certain. Fine work of art.

I am acquainted with a bespoke luthier here in the U.S. who also omits the markers on the face of the fretboad, limiting himself to markers on the edge. The argument for showing the wood best is valid enough but his logic is that markers on the face tempt one to actually look at them. This distorts the position of the left hand and forearm, compromising playing. I quite agree with him.Lan.Yarbrough@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17056145015185841023noreply@blogger.com
