6 three stringers, 1 four stringer and 2 Ukuleles. The 2 Ukes were my first attempt at building one. They look pretty good and turned out ok I guess. Next time I will use 1/8th" sound boards instead of 1/4" since there is hardly any tension at the bridge compared to something with steel strings. Wish they made normal strings for sopranos instead of the nylons. They seem harder to keep in tune. Not happy with the tail pieces on the rest of them. Maybe a bit of a design issue, but the tail was too high in the original configuration leaving no string fall at the bridge. So I reversed the string and now the ball ends are exposed on top of the tail. A bit tacky in my opinion, nut it solved to problem. If I moved the tail down and re-anchored it, the ball ends would be digging into the sound board making it difficult to change strings later on.
