Audrey Music New Tenor Ukulele (2008 edition)
I put wood finished with the processing that I stocked because a Hawaiian
koa was available of splendid Master grade together this time.
I produced a cutaway tenor ukulele in a
short term.
I aimed at an ukulele of the structure
that was conscious of an electric guitar in the whole.
(Master grade hawaiian koa)
（1） To a cutaway of a stocked side plate of these days, Shinkiba asked
"Moku-Moku",
and obtained it somehow
I decided to make a body with a master grade koa. It is lining to a side
plate carefully.
（2） Production of the neck and a
fingerboard
I do select of a thing of on the small side in a thing of tenor stocking
a fingerboard.
I realize lightweighting at the neck of a fingerboard and mahogany of a
rosewood this time.
As for the mahogany slightly of grain of wood appear
I do select of a thing of the adjusted weight that there is.
I follow a stab board of a koa of a head after this.
（3） A top board, the adhesion of the
neck
I am careful not to
be out of the center and do the neck, a lay figure of each combination adhesion
carefully.
The sound hole circumference reinforces it with a red sidar board. X blazing
woods is mahogany.
I made a sound hole Ovation style this time.
（4） Production (here ukulele revolution!) of an innovation bridge for under saddles !
When made it flettable brigge, exclusive use of piezoMic conventionally;
had it. It is under saddle this time,
but,I make the new bridge which can support. I devised a ditch by a trail method.
As for this, adjustment is difficult slightly, As a result, I was
successful.
Depending on a kind
of a string, is under saddle,; but of the strength and weakness of volume of
each string adjustment of a string length is possible without affecting
it.
I investigated more correct tuning with
an
ukulele.
（5） A new double pickup balance method (here, ukulele revolution Part2!!))
Because if is low, there is high with piezo mic, under saddle difference;
three volume methods (1 is for balance As for 1, it is common piezo output Vol, to adjust in under saddle output Vol) one more,
Because it could
take this time to do with instant adjustment in live broadcasting unexpectedly,
it was a difficult point. These two volume
methods
（I use balance use and two volume of the output volume）I realize lightweighting by it is similar, and doing it, and it is operability became good. A noise is reduced, too. But wiring is slightly difficult.
Percussion
execution is not possible, but, in the case of under saddle, there is a good
point that a sound is
clear.
In the case of a
piezomethod, react to a tap in a lay figure, and is an equalizer to some extent
because some sound quality are rough; sound
quality, I can adjust it. It is almost adjustment of balance sound quality of this
output form.
For balance the right the left (when I narrow it down to the right, volume
Max) for volume (piezo mic when I narrow it down to under saddle, the right
when I narrow it down to the left).
I make a hollow for the volume to avoid a
volume projection.
（6） The adhesion of a Back
board
I attach a window
to a ceiling to be able to maintain the volume. I usually stop a board with a
screw here.
I fix a ceiling with a clamp and glue it
together.
（7） It is almost completed! !
I must paint it, but decided to paint in the early spring for a handle,
winter in a season because the painting was difficult.
Clear lacquer was
cloudy in difference of temperature and was hard when I painted it forcibly
before in winter.
I paint with some lemon oil first of all, and a performance is possible.
Grain of Wood appears more neatly when I paint it.
In addition, before painting
it
I am going to do careful decoration such as Inlay
I mind so that grain of wood face of right and left matches book matches
neatly.
Wood face is beatiful when I look in a side.
This angle is an electric
guitar-like.
A peg is a gear peg
made by Goto (gold). It is the comfort which it can coordinate height of a peg,
and is changed tension into.
I attach a stab board of a koa to a head.
I put a hard
mahogany board so that the neck fits in precisely, and a heel and a lay figure
joint of the neck adjust
it.
A string is a GHS black string. The bright tone that the sound assumed
it brightly characteristic of a koa.
By sound hole shape, it is sound of expanse.
There is soundscape, and it is a tone
very favorite for oneself.

Sky"It is the original piece of music
