I just finished this Soprano for my daughter. She helped with the build and picked out the woods. Purpleheart, Engelman Spruce,Bubinga fretbaord and bridge, tortoise shell bindings and low G. |

David, you have done a wonderful thing and I think you've done it in a wonderful way. Your daughter is blessed, indeed. And I'm sure you felt equally blessed because you had the skill to make this for her. I think it's fabulous. |

David: That sound-hole looks like some major work, how did you cut it out? I notice that you used a slanted saddle, was that your idea or was it in the plans? Nice piece of work. Bob

Bob it actually takes about 15 minutes to cut the sound hole. CA a pattern onto the location and freehand route with a dremel tool, fast and easy. The slanted saddle is for a low "G" wound string. Typically I do slanted for low G and straight for high G. |

Ok so a slanted saddle on a Soprano just doesn't really work. It throws the intonation off. Its a good thing my daughter smashed the top in so now I have to replace the top and it will give me a chance to replace the bridge with a straight saddle. |
