So, I recently joined up with my local uke club--the Quad Cities Ukulele Club in Moline, IL (I live a ways away, but it's worth the trip)--and went to last Saturday's meeting/session. The second one I've been to. Like I told them the first time, any more fun, it'd be illegal!
Any-hoozle, I have just finished building my first homemade uke. Body: cookie tin. Neck: piece of 1x2 poplar. Frets: bobby pins. Strings: Aquila nylgut tenor. I took it for its maiden voyage during the session, and doggone if it didn't fit in just fine! I decided to use a light pick, because it's not very loud.
My next build I'll fix some problems, like drilling the holes for the tuning keys properly, and so on. But it was a lot of fun to build, and it plays pretty decent!
