Tuners are installed. Ziribari will likely sing for the first time this weekend!

We have strings! Test drive for a few days and then I’ll share some glamour shots and a sound sample. I’m going to reserve first impressions until I get Uke Logic strings on it. Going to try the hard tension wound low D on this one.

Here are the glamour shots. I had a lot of fun with this one. Learned quite a lot about the urethane finish. Will post a couple videos soon.

Here is a short video showing off ziribari and then a butchering of Yesterday by the Beatles. I’m my own worst critic.

Enjoy!

Brad, the stripes of that Ziricote are very nice, especially on the sides. I'm always amazed at the sounds coming out of Ukes. I think of strumming Hawaiian music!

Thanks, Ken. I had the luxury of having this one and the koa one I completed recently side by side. They definitely have their own voice. This one is brighter at the high end which I would expect from spruce, but it also was more distinct and rang clear in the mid too. I didn’t expect that.
