This ukulele was designed and started in early 2007 and I expect to be finished in late 2008. The ukulele will have a modified Kasha/Schnieder braced soundboard with a ladder braced back. The soundboard will be built with a 25 ft radius domed profile, while the back will be built with a 15 ft domed profile. The neck will be designed as a long scale neck with a 14 fret body connection, and will be reinforced using a carbon fibre stiffening rod. This ukulele will have an offset soundhole design in the treble upper bout as well as a side port on the bass upper bout. To compliment the modified Kasha/Schnieder sounboard bracing system, a low G tuning will be used for this ukulele.
