Love that overlap trick. It leaves a nice cutoff for the headstock.

Price drop to$225

They would look so good together, and won't take up much shelf space! Hope you are enjoying the mini purple.

"The Bed" is a series of ukuleles built from a repurposed Cuban Mahogany 4-poster bed. This is number 3. This is an 11" sopranino and is a mere 17" overall. It fits nicely in your carry-on. Top, back, and sides are all book matched with a nice grain pattern. Comes with a gig bag and free...

Price drop...thanks for taking a second look.

Ruby red Beltona tenor resonator ukulele in nice condition. There is some minor paint chips on the top, probably from a pick?. Otherwise nice overall condition. It is a deep red...darker than the photos. Comes with an old hardcase...some visable wear. Shipping is free to the lower 48.

The E string in the 30U set is .017 Savarez rectified nylon strings go all the way down to .011 which is extremely thin.

I built a 5 string for Jim Hanks a few years ago. It simply had a "D" added at the bottom... dGCEA. It uses pretty much the same chord shapes as a 4 string ukulele. He has posted some videos of himself playing it. It is not too hard to get use to. I built my personal guitar as a 5 string...just...

Martin tenor in solid koa. Perfect condition with a gigbag and free shipping to the lower 48. Open to offers.

Yes, it went pretty quickly. I have to start reducing the herd.

Mint condition custom soprano from Alvin "Pops" Okami. I don't know a lot about the history of this ukelele. Custom with clear pine body and spruce top. Currently strung low G but comes with a standard high G. Free shipping to the lower 48...reasonable shipping elsewhere. Has a hard case.

I've often struggled with joining the top plate halves. After viewing Pete's method, I bit the bullet and bought a #6 Bailey. My first go with it produced a perfect joint. Thank you, Pete Howlett for the inspiration:
