About six months after my first Kasha guitar, I found plans for a Kasha ukulele . After finishing that first Ukulele, I found the same results; the tone, volume and clarity were unbelievable.

The basic idea behind the Kasha system is to eliminate braces in exchange for tone bars. A sound board should be divided into two sides, treble and bass. The treble side utilizes shorter sound bars which can vibrate faster as the higher tones do, while the bass side contains longer tone bars that vibrate slower, just as lower tones do.

Moving the sound hole to the top right corner of the sound board also helps to free up the sound board by eliminating the need for a cross brace. The second sound hole on the side of the upper bout also helps to spread the sound around.

Every instrument from DeVine Guitars is put through a break in period of 3 to 4 days. The "Pink Box" Is something I have been working on since 2008. It is a machine that can rapidly break in an instrument the same way years of playing will do. A temporary saddle is inserted into the bridge that is connected to magnetic driver that transfers pink noise into the body of the guitar. This “pink noise” is a collection of random tones that can “break in” an instrument many times faster then just playing or strumming alone.
