Very cool plucking coffin! I've heard that some luthiers have built or done some form of vibration automation to bring out tone before delivering the instrument, but that's about the cleverest thing I've seen. Thanks for the video

Nice video, I wanted to share something I learned about the playing improving the sound theory. Apparently, the sound vibrations create heat which helps to dry the moisture on a cellular level.

Hi Ron, i live in the UK, love your ukes, very very good, like the chocolate walnut uke, having a go myself at building one. I tried one before and didn't turn out to good, but this one is looking a lot better, could you possibly tell me if a childs guitar neck half scale would do the scale ok for my tenor neck. At present i play a plectrum banjo in my band,the cornish wurzells. Thanks for a great show.very best regards Russ.

23:32.....the idea of strumming the instrument a million x is interesting...and its really clear that Ron is an Engineer! BUT...I am not convinced that strumming an instrument will "age" the instrument to its full potential. The study and affect of sound waves on the aging effect of tonewoods is an ongoing science. Interesting and will be fun to hear what happens in the future. Maybe just subjecting your uku to a three hour Who concert and their 15ft high Wall of speakers might do the trick! It takes years for a new instrument to break in, to develop its tone and realize its full potential. As tonewood ages, its cell structure goes through changes, becoming much more resonant and responsive. After a few years, you get the payoff: you begin to hear the sound of a vintage instrument. With the introduction of torrefied woods, professional builders are giving their instruments a head start on tone. The wood is heat-treated in an oxygen-free kiln, making it highly resonant and extremely stable. It's as if the wood is pre-aged. It looks and sounds like wood that's been broken in for many years...another upper Stratosphere investigation perfect for academia and the esoteric luthier. Joseph Nagyvary of Texas A&M University, US, used infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to analyze the chemical properties of Stradivari’s violin backboards - its largest resonant component. “The great Italian masters prepared their wood by artificial means. The violin backs appear to have been brutally treated with salts of copper, iron and chromium as wood preservers”. Perhaps in the future we will be dunking our instruments in some bath of nuclear waste. All sarcasm aside, the search for ever more perfect instruments all sounds a bit foreboding. Very expensive, high production bending machines, CAD-controlled CNC machines cutting, milling perfect parts all seem to predict the demise of the luthier artist working with simple hand tools in exchange for mass production perfection.

Both the Luna ukes I bought had buzzing on the first and second frets. Fortunately, my Oscar Scmidt concert has no buzz. That's the first thing I look for in a uke now.

+Easton Hudson I am like you...old bass player and got into Ukes and really like them. If you really like playing bass, and you can't take the weight anymore, check out the U-Bass by Kala. I got one and it is an amazing instrument! The size and weight of a Ukulele but with that big bass sound! Really cool. Good luck.
