there is a hole through the bridge and body and the strings go into the body of the instrument. this is a little more complicated to tie the ends but it is not difficult. the advantage is that there is very little cantilevered stress on the bridge. also there is through transmission of the string vibration directly to the body of the instrument. beyond this description i would have to cut the instrument in half to show you. and that is not going to happen. :)
I've heard hundred versions of Nuages ( 11 from Django Reinhardt himself) and I always charmed by a new version. Yours sounds great with personnal licks. Thank you!
the pickguard is my thing. i put the pickguard on my dasilva SM1 a couple of years ago to stop the damage to the top. it gives a neat click sound when i strum and it is my personal ukulele look
wow, that looks and sounds great. it would be really interesting if you did a ukulele round up of all of your ukes. i'm sure you have quite a collection.
beautiful playing & beautiful ukulele !

That's great. I worked on a very similar arrangement on my uke in the same key but yours is terrific, and what a lovely uke you got...
