I built this tenor ukulele with an old rice tin. I think it turned out pretty cool.

Well done Daniel, I thought the rice tin had a really nice grain in it.

I'm very impressed. I wonder what it would sound like with a sound hole and played acoustically. That had me looking around the kitchen wondering what could be used, not that I have the skill to make one. Brilliant mate!

I mounted a piezo rod under the saddle. That is connected to a 250K volume potentiometer and output jack.

The notes are a little muted when played acoustically. I thought about putting in a sound hole, but I was afraid that it might compromise the integrity of the tin.
