its a really affordable ukulele kit
have u guys try it?
is it good?

I built a similar kit from Grizzly. I did an inlay on the headstock and added a bone nut and saddle. I recomend it highly. I had a ball putting it together. You won't get a great Uke in the end but you will have a lot of fun and learn alot. Mine doesnt have alot of volume but sounds good and is great to play if you don't want to bother anyone. It's a great starter kit if you're interested in building. Start with this kit and make your mistakes so that when you get a better kit you will have a better idea of what you are doing. IMHO P.S. put aquila strings on it.

thanks for the info
i really want to try it and try to build an ukulele
yeah aquila strings is a must

but its very hard to find kit like that in Indonesia even an ukulele its hard to find here.

If you buy it from GRIZZLY.COM I think they are about 25 dollars plus shipping.

okay ill check it

I built the grizzly kit. The strings that come with it are a joke. Put some decent strings on it and you will have a decent little beater uke. I teach 6 to 8 grade music. I have several students that come in every day and pick it up and play it. Several have now bought their own ukes! SO... I would say money very well spent.

Aren't Pono, Oscar Schimdt, and Lanikai 'ukuleles made in Indonesia? I was thinking finding a great deal on a 'ukulele at local prices would be easier but I guess they are not made for local consumers.
