Further to developing a new look to my instruments with an elliptical sound hole, this tenor is the first with a rosette installed.
Made from Curly Australian Blackwood with a dead on the 1/4 Sitka soundboard. Tiger Myrtle bindings and Indian Rosewood fret board with a compound radius. MISI under saddle pickup and strung with Worth Browns low G.

I like the look of that soundhole....it definitely adds a uniqueness to the instrument. Visually it seems to make the uke look alot longer...

Being a Selmer fan, I really like the oval sound hole. It adds to the art deco aesthetic. You have an authentic talent for beautiful design.

The MISI battery-less pickup systems look interesting. Who's your supplier Allen?
