A New Bridge Brings This Oldie Back
Outfitting this old Harmony Uke with a new bridge was a very satisfying and quick little job. I was able to correct the intonation and convert to a nice bone saddle at the same time.
Old uke, new bridge.

- Taking a well deserved hiatus after the big move out of Canal Park. See you next week, folks. #thanks
- I’m all cleared out of Rosewood. I left only a song and took away my whole life with me. Everything is perfect, even when we don’t understand it. I’m full of gratitude and wonder, and excitement for the way ahead. See y’all around the next bend! I couldn’t have done it alone.
- I wanted to explore the question, “Who am I if I’m not the guy who fixes instruments down in Canal Park?” I wanted to step closer towards participating in the other things I want out of my life. I wanted to expand. I can carry only so much, and so I set down what is no longer vital and with empty hands, free hands, I begin to ply the threads of the next weave. Maybe identities are only really useful when you realize they are not who you are, and that they change. #thanksforeverything
- So sad to have to make this decision, but with the blizzard on its way tomorrow, I’m going to cancel the closing ceremony and celebration for Rosewood. It been an honor to serve y’all these past 17 years. Looking forward the keeping it up in the new life ensuing. Enjoy the snow, I know I will.
- Almost 17 years in business in Dewitt Seitz, and nobody ever twigged on my reference here. Well, if you’re of a mind, go pick up some books by Charles de Lint. The Onion Girl is one of my favorites. #jillycoppercorn
