Would it be rude of me to jump into this thread with my own "issue"? It's something I've been meaning to bring up and aligns with this thread, so why start another?
I have been radiusing the tops of my ukes. My current method has resulted in tall saddles, and it's something I thought I'd want to remedy, though mostly because I thought it looks a little weird.
It doesn't, however, seem to affect tone, intonation, or volume, or playability. This is the loudest uke I own. It has a cedar top and a lot of punch. My ears can be really sensitive to pitch, and intonation is very good. The action is not high, just high enough.
So, besides looks, what is a compelling reason to change this? (not that I wasn't going to try) What will I actually gain?
