Perhaps "boyband" was a bit much I didn't mean for them to be compared with Nsync and such I agree that they were on the raising wave and really did do tremendous things for music. But I don't feel like we would be lost without them. I think it was more of a "time due" kind of circumstance that they just happened to catch. If not them it would have been someone else... But that's just my opinion   I don't think the credit is really all theirs. There were alot of people behind the scenes that made it come together and it could have been any band of the time... IMO
  I've never really felt that Dylan was as great of a musician as he's been credited. Granted he was an outstanding songwriter but the rest ....ahhhh    No biggy though... We all like different things -Pix

Nice area! I'm about 2 1/2 hrs southeast of you, in a little town called Chadbourn about 45 minutes from the coast. If you're ever in the area, my doors always open to a fellow Chordians Best of luck with the guitar and hope to continue seeing you in the forums! -Pix

Got any pics of this one?? I'm a Yairi nut myself

You need Per's approval to do so and only your work can be added. You're not allowed to just pick a vid from youtube (copywrite issues)...You must make one yourself in order to link it to Chordie.

This shows how it's cut.

I don't keep a scrap book with photo's of past jobs but my parents own a piano that I redid the inlay work on a couple of years ago as a present for them. I'll swing by this afternoon and snap some pics of it and post them for you. It's brass and Mother of pearl torch inlays. It's a very old handbuilt piano. Never seen another like it. Even the soundboard was handmade from mahogany instead of the metal used on all other pianos I've seen. Very cool piece!

No, not that. Dry sinks aren't too common around here. I do mainly kitchen cabinetry, build-ins and repairing/refinishing of antique furniture. Gold leafing, inlay repair and such.

Well I do a lot of woodworking but it's more of a job than a hobby... I really enjoy fishing, camping, and boating. I'm an avide reader. I also skate and surf Though the surfing has eased off some over the past couple of years. I'm currently collecting more tools to get further into lutherie. I got a really pretty slab of quarter sewn Hog about a month ago and it's about time to start putting it to use

There are several ukulele tunings...

C Tuning (GCEA) is mainly for Soprano, Concert and Tenor ukulele. The same as the higher four strings of a standard tuned guitar with a capo at the fifth fret with string four "G" one octave higher. You can ,however, get strings to tune a baritone to C as well but it's not commonly done.

Key of "C" Low 'G' Tuning - For Soprano, Concert and Tenor ukulele. Same as Key of "C" Tuning but with string four one octave lower. This is the same as placing a capo at the fifth fret of a standard tuned guitar.

Key "D" Tuning (ADF#B) - For Soprano, Concert and Tenor ukulele. The same as the higher four strings of a standard tuned guitar with a capo at the seventh fret with string four "A" one octave higher.

Key "D"  Low 'A' Tuning (ADF#B)- For Soprano, Concert and Tenor ukulele. The same as the higher four strings of a standard tuned guitar with a capo at the seventh fret

G Tuning ( this is the one where you tune DGBe just like the higher 4  strings of a guitar)
It's used mainly for Baritone but is also sometimes used for Tenor ukulele.

String 4 can also be tuned up one octave.

If your not sure what you have, just measure the body size (length and width) and the scale length (from the bridge to the nut) and post them and I'll let you know.

I'm lucky to remember yesterday.....
