Bushman Ukuleles
No Longer Carrying This Line
Excerpt
taken from a review of a Bushman Jenny ukulele: "Lets start with the
looks, fit and finish. The lower bout is constructed of flat-sawn
Brazilian mahogany and is stained to a classic honey brown. The
soundboard is tripled bounded with a white binding strip, then abalone,
then a final white binding strip. The last strip is very narrow to
offset the abalone. There is an abalone rosette around the sound hole
that is also framed by thin while binding strips. The back is even bound
with a white binding strip. The headstock is also mahogany and is bound
in the same manner as the soundboard with a Bushman Ukulele's stamp at
the top. Overall, it has a very classic beauty. The fretboard and bridge
are rosewood. The fretboard has nickle-silver frets that are uke sized,
verses some of the other ukes that seem to use guitar sized frets. The
frets are nicely dressed on the edges with no sharpness. The fretboard
sports 5 position markers... and are of appropriate size. This is nice
because some of the modern ukes have these useless tiny inlays. The
bridge is really nice with a through-hole string design for good
strength... bridge bar and the top nut are removable for easy
adjustment, if needed... fantastic resonance..."
