“NEW”! Sound bites by UkeKurt: https://ukekurt.com/sound-room/

That’s a wrap for this week… Quiet please ever

That’s a wrap for this week…
Quiet please everyone is 😴 resting.
.
Many people have asked me “Why does it take so long to properly build an instrument?
I always answer “Because rest is one of the keys to sound”. Allowing things to cure before pressure is put on its elements. Stress is bad for the “joints”, and rest is always the key. Taking time off allows me to freshly re-focus when I come back, and sometimes saves the build through patience.
.
So don’t forget to rest…
