In 1974, my father dissected a domestic box turtle as part of a college course. Decades later, its shell reemerges as the main part of the "Turtle Shell Ukulele"!

The neck is soprano scale and is made of maple (with a scarf joint attaching the slotted headstock). The space between the neck and the shell serves as the sound hole. The top is a piece of poplar that I had laying around.
 
You should put a Unicorn horn neck on it ;)
 
I dissected a frog in 1977. The Ukulele wasn't a huge success if I'm honest.

Remember to only Oil the fingerboard with Dodo bird oil and polish the finish with essence of Tiger penis.

Someone gave me the same advice to care for my uke, but I didn't hear the "essence of" part. I had to get 50 stitches, got banned from the zoo, and my uke still doesn't shine!
 
It sounds a lot better then I thought it would.

I think it looks pretty cool. The whole turtle uke walking thing at the beginning amused me. I laughed. Good job! :D
 
Would probably be great for playing those s...l...o...w songs. :)

It's pretty cool.
