Ken Middleton (Living Water Strings) has a nice sounding set of Baritone GCEA (low G) for sale. I have them on my Ohana BK035.

Nice Graphophone! What model is that? I have a collection of Graphophones and Edison machines. I used to do a lot of restoration work.

I don't typically make New Year's Resolutions, but I found this quote from Beethoven a good one to hold close and help me grow in my ability to perform on the ukulele... "To play a wrong note is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable." --Ludwig van Beethoven

Here are a couple of pictures of the Godiva Chocolate Tin Uke I made my son last Christmas. The acoustic sound is a bit tinny, but with the piezo pickup you can get a decent sound out of it. --G

Hi There, I've searched high and I've searched low, I can't find tabs or chords for the song "Mission of My Soul" by Peter Himmelman anywhere. We want to have it performed acoustically at our wedding in July. Here's a YouTube clip of the song... http://youtu.be/je6vOicVYDQ Any help will be...

I've built three 3-stringers on a 25" scale and one uke on a soprano scale. Here are two of the 3-string cigar box guitars and the Godiva Tin ukulele. These were Christmas presents for my kids. The pirate themed guitar has skull knobs on the tuning pegs.

Just about finished with this build - Godiva Tin body, walnut fretboard, zebra wood bridge, Aquila strings, piezo pickup...

I finished up my 3-string cigar box guitar last night. Cigar Box Nation is a great site. Other helpful sites are Cigar Box Guitars and Handmade Music Clubhouse. Here are a couple of pics of final assembly...

I built one recently. Used a 1x2 piece of poplar, and empty dog food can for the resonator, and a spare guitar tuning peg. Now I'm working on a three string fretless cigar box slide guitar. I'm hoping to drill the headstock for the tuning pegs this evening and then apply a finish to the neck...

Built a Diddley Bow this evening using a dog food can for a resonator, a 30" poplar stick, a guitar tuner, and a light gauge acoustic guitar E string. Played with a glass slide.

No, you're not alone. Mine has miscellaneous strings (new and used for uke and mando), some tuning pegs, glass slides, a small screwdriver, miscellaneous picks (felt, finger, etc.), and a finger nail clipper.

I posted a picture of this the other day, in the Uke p*** thread, but wanted to share this in a thread of its own. I was in Willies American Guitars in St. Paul on Sunday and fell in love with this cigar box instrument for about $200.00. It's called a BroJo. It's a steel string cigar box, with...

Just acquired a locally made Bro-Jo cigar box uke at Willies American Guitars - steel strings with pickup. I'm having a blast with it!

Here are some pictures of the new uke...

Today I purchased a vintage Style 1 Martin from a private party. It's from the 40's - 50's era. Beautiful condition, no cracks, minimal wear, straight and level neck/fretboard. One ding to the corner of the headstock quite a while ago based on the color/discolorization of the bare wood. I...

Woo-hoo, I received a Carnival Uke, with the original box, as a gift today! --G

Some Like It Hot with Marilyn on uke... Sugar (Marilyn Monroe) thanking Jack Lemmon’s character “Daphne” for getting her out of a jam: “If it wasn’t for you, they’d have kicked me off the train. I’d be out in the middle of nowhere, sitting on my ukulele.” Daphne (Jack Lemmon in drag) says...

Here's a grainy image of the original skin with the fraternity signatures...

Looks nice! I did something similar. I bought two pieces of pre-finished oak at Menards, a 1x4 and a 1x2. Screwed them together with three countersunk brass screws, and added the tool hangers. I hung it flush on the wall using a z-bar hanger. Total cost about $10.00.
