I got a new ukulele, a cigar box from a member of the 1st German Ukulele Club, Hans Thüring.
Mine is the tenth ukulele he ever made.

There are some pictures:

I recorded one song so far, and I recorded the audio part twice at the same time, once with the mic of my Zoom H2, and once with the build-in pickup.
The song is "Seasons In The Sun": Acoustic version / Electric version

I like the custom headstock label.

The sound hole is awesome.

Very cool. It has a great sound, and the fact that the cigar box actually opens Thanks for sharing.

Nice ceegar box uke WS. I prefer the sound of it acoustically vs. with the pickup. Congrats on the new addition.

And one more recording with the new uke, audio only, recorded with the pickup, not a mic:
Bridge Over Troubled Water

That's one of the nicest cigar box uke's I've ever seen. In fact, if there was a kit for that style, I would buy it.
