Well done sir! That is a really beautiful instrument. How does it play? I can't imagine that refretting any instrument is easy, yet alone one that small. The finish/ornamentation is really well done. You have a good aesthetic. Has your stepdaughter been playing for long?
It is hard for me to tell how it plays. It is way less irritating than the soprano uke she has now. It has a surprisingly harp-like tone. It's nice -- I think. I haven't much basis for comparison. Thanks for the compliments! She's been playing about a year and a half. This is my way of moving her incrementally toward a more serious instrument. Unfortunately, I see a banjo restoration in my future.
thenewgreen -- there! Finally finished it. JakobVirgil -- You might be interested too. Maybe.
