Don't save! Build one! They are not hard to put together and a ton of fun to play when finished. Nice sense of accomplishment to pay something you made for folks
I'd love to make one but Ive become disabled through cancer and can't move my back very well. It's something that I would jump at if able. I've had to give up 20 years of gigging with my basses, but thank God I've found the Uke!
Gitty has a concert scale kit. I put one together earlier this year.Also https://www.cbgitty.com/ sells all kinds of stuff, including kits. With those two sites you can see, learn, buy, and build a lot. ha.
Gitty also sells a soprano box ukulele kit. I'm hoping they put out a concert and tenor. It was in the works maybe, but I haven't checked lately.
Here's the soprano kit: https://www.cbgitty.com/gift-ideas/gittylele-soprano-ukulele-kit/

Edit: Unless by kit you are talking about the kit that also includes the cigar box. This is the one that I used.

You have to come up with your own box.
That would be amazing. I'm in the UK. I feel so useless now. Since my cancer diagnosis I've lost mobility in my back, I can't stand for long, and can't walk any distances. I used to be so independent, out and busy all the time. I've had to stop gigging with my band after 20+ years because I can't support the weight of my electric basses anymore. My best friend started a Go Fund Me page whilst I was in hospital last year and all my friends bought me a Kala U bass. It's an amazing little thing. I still can't believe the sound that comes from it. You know how it goes, one Uke is never enough, so I then got a Kala tenor, which I love to bits, then a Noah Monkey Pod Concert. I got a knock on my door on Christmas Eve. It was one of my neighbours, the whole row of neighbours had had a collection for me and raised £100. I put it towards getting Rob Collins at tinguitar.com to build me a soprano uke. It's an amazing little thing. He made the body from spell wood salvaged from his village pub after a flood last year. I keep imagining I can smell years worth of beer and stories from it. I got into open G tuning and slide playing a month or too ago and them stumbled upon cigar box guitars. Wow. I'd love to have the strength / physical ability to make one, but I think I'd struggle. Having someone to make one up for me would be fantastic, choice of colours, fittings etc. but I don't know anyone locally who is into diy instrument building. I will try and put out the feelers about it. I have the itch for some slide blues and I don't think I will scratch it without getting one Thank you for your lovely post, I have found some really amazing people since being diagnosed, so good can come out of a horrible situation.
