Harp Ukulele is finally finished. now with video

[John Parchem]

I strung her up today. It does sound good. Still like a Ukulele but with a bit of punch and power. I have no idea how I want to really tune it. Right now it is standard tenor ukulele except the 4th string is an octave lower than it would be. More like a guitar 4th, 4th, 3rd, 4th. I repeat the notes an octave down on the bass strings.

I am considering different tunings. I will play around to see what I can come up with.

Bear claw spruce top,
Koa back and sides,
cocobolo with a black fiber purfling
mahogany neck.
Amboyna burl rosette and head board veneers.

In any case here it is ...
