I love low action too, dear Jonah. I've been at too high an action with my guitars all my life until recently. Some luthiers have started drilling two-hole/string bridges of that reason, to increase break angle, esp at low action. Please tell me: what action at the nut, say, at 1st fret, do you use and recommend for a typical baritone uke. To explain: I'm after the baritone basics as mine is somewhere around 0.5 mm of space there, which seems mighty much to me. I'm trying to understand this my new instrument better, the lovely uke.
So interesting vid I must say, this one of yours, interesting and friendly. All the best from Sweden.
