Hi Andrew. Here’s my entry for the Halloween challenge. I’ve never watched The Walking Dead but what a cool, haunting little tune. Then I listened to the original them – wow, so fast! Anyway, it was a good chance to learn about picado – thank you.

Hi Andrew,

There’s so much I’d like to ask Joe but here are my top two questions:

1. Given that ukuleles are constantly under tension from the strings, is there a “shelf life” for ukuleles, where after a certain number of years or decades the top is likely to bow?

2. Most ukuleles seem to have two-piece book-matched tops but from a sound point of view, isn’t it better to have a single piece of wood for the top? Why are so few made like this?

Thanks!

First challenge for me! I like the mixture of techniques but I’ll have to work quite a bit harder to get them sounding natural. Good challenge though 🙂
