Here is a sample sound byte from the MicroUke (currently tuned to 7edo)

Now I do apologise because the quality is not the best; it was done with my internal laptop mic and had to have a lot of amplification and noise removal, but hopefully at this price you get a good glimpse of how the uke sounds tonally and a sample of my style of playing. The files I post are all intended to be downloadable, remixable, and sharable, (creative commons license) though I am not sure how to license content on this wiki. Since so little is posted, that's not a problem right now.

There are currently no images of microUke1.1 or 1.0 (for which no label/decal exists) but I will post as time allows. Far more important is the music/sound.

New features of 1.2 are boring - 2 new notches in the heel for fret tension and friction

1.2 has retained the preferred method of fretting which is agnostic to the perpendicularity of the frets.

Today I closed up the 9-edo recording session, and thought I would post a song count though I have not uploaded all my songs yet. One reason is that for the early songs, I only made FLAC's, which are quite large, so I have to go back and compress them. Anyways, here is a count so far. All songs will be on a page/album called Small-Scale Revolution, which will be all my raw "notebook paper" sketches in properly MARO tonal scales on Ukulele, what I think is the world's smallest acoustic micro-tonal instrument.
5-EDO
10 songs (one is a cultural song), recorded thrice each
7-EDO
8 original tunes, 15 cultural songs
8-EDO
23 original tunes (no culture has ever come up with 8-edo as far as I know)
9-EDO
19 original tunes (9 has been my favorite so far)
so 10 +8+15+23+19=...so far there are 75 songs, but more files.
 
And I still have 10 and 11 EDO to cover, and I 'm still basically cursorily improvising in-studio. Obviously, each said EDO has more potential when contemplated and composed in. Since I am limiting each EDO to a week, I'm not going too deep into any given one.
 
10 and 11 are sufficiently Xenharmonic enough that neither will likely lend itself to finding favorite songs from 12 TET, so all the tunes will be original. Weoll see how it goes, thanks for following...</pre></div>
