Can anyone guide me to where I can find/buy a uke neck--soprano, tenor, concert, doesn't much matter--for a reasonable price?
I would also need to find a dowel for the inside on the body.
Let me 'splain:
Years ago, I had a luthier friend attach a tenor banjo neck to a cookie tin (Danish--butter cookies). I have tenor guitar strings on it and I tune it like a mandola/tenor guitar--C-G-D-A. It has a funky, metallic sound that I love.
From Christmas, I have a few more cookie tins. I want to make a uke out of one of them. (And a 5-string banjo out of another, and maybe a diddly-bow out of yet another, but I digress).
I would need a dowel for the inside of the cookie tin/banjo-ish body, like a banjo uke.
I've looked online on eBay and StewMac, and their necks are, well, really pricey.
Can anyone lead me to more reasonably-priced necks/dowels?
Thanks.
