I don’t know; I guess it’s ok, if you like totally gorgeous hand made works of art.
Nice. Have been wanting to build one up for a while.
Looks really nice
Great sounding banj. How much does that go for?
Around $2000
You make the banjo look so easy.
Some of these are beautiful But..didnt George Formby invent the Banjo uke so that he could play in music halls and be heard ? Preamplification...
First banjo ukes were made around 1917. George Formby was born in 1904. He didn’t buy a uke till 1923.
@@beansproutmusicalinstrumentsthanks
Another really interesting historical breakdown on old instruments. Always wondered how old ukulele banjo internals. Have a great week.
It does seem very complicated!
Thanks Aaron, seen these, fascinating engineering, looks a lot of items to set correctly. Can’t wait to hear one that is set up correctly. Have a great week.
Love your expertise! Fascinating! 👍
I would love to hear it when work complete.
?! scale length on the Uke?!?
20”
This was really interesting Aaron. One of the projects in my pile of projects is a partially assembled Formby Dallas E. It's missing some parts, and I think some of the parts that are with it are the result of other people's failed attempts to restore it. Quite the jigsaw puzzle. So this kind of video, where you look at different ways people have engineered it is interesting. Pretty much the same job, done several different ways. Who knows, it might help me figure out the Formby one if I stare at it long enough 😂 More like Jenga than a jigsaw.
I have been tinkering on several and really appreciate the information. Really enjoy your program. Hope your wrist heals!
These oldies are so interesting and such gems. I have an Avalon branded banjo uke and formerly a very similar Bruno with its original case. I am not sure who the actual company was that produced them...both of them based on the Lyon and Healy model. Have enjoyed watching your recent musical forays in the UK! 👍
Super interesting; thank you!
Hello, how do you know your under the bridge plate? Is the pickup should be towards the end of the bridge plate? Thank you.
I usually can feel the bridge plate with my fingertips. typically it is just glued to the inside of the top and easy to feel. not all ukes have a bridge plate though. As long as it's under the bridge you will be fine.
Thank you very much for the very quick reply. I have learned something new.
Can we run 1/2" blades on this?
@@dillonmadasekera6432 it depends on what guides you have. I now have Carter guides for 1” blades.
Great to see your technique. I bend my ukulele sides with my home built iron. As I only make 2-4 per year that is not a problem. With my slow build rate the bent sides can be clamped in the assembly form for several weeks. They have a long time to relax in their new shape. Then the tailblock, front and neck ate glued on. Fine for a hobby, but not a business. At the Kanalea factory the bent sides went into the assembly form and the tailblock, and neck block were added within minutes. Fronts and backs the same day. Astonishing! Amazing manufacturing precision and velocity. Each scale of operation is pretty amazing in its own way…
Absolutely beautiful!!
What's the finish ?
Sounds fantastic! Lucky owner for whomever buys this! ❤️👍🏻
Really classy look. A great thoughtful wood choice thanks for showcasing. Love the sound. Have a great week
Great sound! Lovely woods...👏👏👏✌️
Aaron, would Japanese Elm work as a soundboard?
I wouldn’t use it, it’s too dense and hard.
Nice! My fingers are too fat for a soprano. Regardless she looks and sounds great!
Excellent !! Very fond of Elm, Japanese and otherwise. I have quite a stash of Alaska Yellow Cedar I have been hoarding for about 20 years.. Of course it is a cypress along with Port Orford Cedar. Both fine tone wood.
What a gem!!
What size soft bag would you use for a scout or camp size ukulele?
I use a soprano bag made by Kala
I'm having trouble tune it mine .. it sound horrible how do you tune it? I need help 😅
Good luck with the surgery. 🙏🏻
What a beautiful heartfelt tune. The wayfinder works it's magic again!
Wow! Really nice.
Wow ! What a great personal song, you can tell you had great respect and love for your grandparents. Thanks for sharing that song. It sounded amazing on that little uke too. Really enjoyed that.
Wow Ben, couldn’t think of a better custodian for the Wayfinder. So pleased and grateful for you sharing such a personal, yet resonant song. Great performance, super warm tone to your voice. The journey continues. Have a great week. Best wishes from UK 🇬🇧.
Just wondered if this song is in one of your books or is it something new?
Just improvising.
@@beansproutmusicalinstruments Well it sounded especially nice - could easily be a tune :)
Will you be making more tenor guitars any time soon? Looking on your site now. 🙂
I’ve made five in the last three months. I don’t believe any are in the queue for this fall.
Beautiful antique ukes, I have a collection of Hawaii ukes like the ones you have plus a number of other lovely old ukes and uke banjos.
Sweet!
Love the single string sound of fingerstyle on this uke! Thanks, Aaron.
Truely curly Myrtle, stunning. Love the Beansprout logo as well. 918 a success. Have a good week
Thanks, you too!
Stunning, as usual!
Thank you! Cheers!
Lovely banjo.greatchoice of woods. Sounds really wholesome. Have a great week.
Many thanks!
Real great sound, such a deep resonance! Love the knot and graft on the neck.
Glad you like it!
Love it!
That’s a beauty. New owner will be so pleased. Have a good week and a super UFOGB.
Gorgeous myrtle!👍✌️
Thank you! Cheers!
Some day... I want to be on your list!
Maybe one day!
In fifty years of mounting good quality calf skin heads I’ve never oiled them. Much prefer the white unvarnished look. Do you always use goat? Do you use gut / nylon or steel strings on your instruments?
I also use calfskin sometimes, especially on vintage instruments. I use both types of strings, depending on what the customer wants.
Wow, that a real book matched front and back . Love the sound. Have a great week.
