This might be ultimate ukulele for traveling! I built this from a single piece of bird's eye maple. The scale length is 19 inches, but I tune it like a regular reentrant uke. The under saddle piezo rod is soldered directly to a flush mount jack.

I like this so much, I might fake an injury just to use it more often. :)

 
Idea....

Take the metal handle off, add maybe a 6-8 inch stick with a carving of a 'wood spirt' face on it, and voila, you have a ukulele walking stick!

No fake injury necessary!
 
That is cool! And an ideal accessory for talk like a pirate day! ;)
 
Perfect,now you just need an amp shaped like an oxygen unit...
 
Thanks. I'm working on a design that will be easier to replicate. I'm thinking of making it a 3 string dulcimer/strumstick cane. It will use a smaller initial piece of wood. I’ll also make it longer at the bottom to allow it to be trimmed to suit people of different heights.
