I have dozens of projects on my bench but this is the first uke I've completed. I've done woodworking much of my life but never made anything like this. I'm very grateful to all the luthiers and hobbyists here who share knowledge and info to make these projects possible. Specs: Mandolele -...

I wanted to get a pedal or two to experiment with... that quickly lead to three, four... Mostly very inexpensive pedals just for play. But of course then I needed a pedalboard so I decided to make one. I drew it to be the smallest size I could get away with. A larger pedalboard would just make...

Nice job TUS. I like the idea of sourcing all 4 strings in a set as opposed to getting them separately. And it does save me a few bucks as an added bonus. This combination of strings is what I've been using lately on several of my tenors; TI wound G and C along with Oasis E and A. Moore Bettah...

I've been dabbling/experimenting with home recording and I like to go the next step and buy a mic. My ukes have piezo pickups so I can record by going direct into my computer or iPad using my iRig HD. Now I'd like to experiment with using a mic to capture voice and acoustic sound. My needs are...

I've always wanted to learn to play bass. I've been having so much fun with the ukulele I figured another four stringed instrument would double my fun. I've got a Hadean solid body uke bass on the way. I was also looking for a diy type of project. I'm not much of a horny person so I'll probably...

I'm wanting to try some inlay techniques and will likely build my own Dremel base since the StewMac is on the pricey side (I'm just a hobbyist). I was checking out what's new at Lee Valley and they've put out their own flavor of rotary tool plunge base. Like all of their tools it looks to be...

I consider myself an advanced beginner/intermediate player. I've been having a great time playing For You Blue with the chords provided by the San Jose Ukulele Club (thanks SJUC!). It has a great 12 bar blues pattern. I'd love to take the song to the next level with some embellishment. I found...

Hey everyone, I've been playing for 5 months now. I started with a Kala mahogany laminate concert which has now become my take to work/beater uke. My main uke is a Kala cedar top acacia tenor. I play it every day and I'm very, very pleased with it. I'd like to get another tenor to string low G...

I read about UAS and although I have already acquired two ukes in the short time I've been playing I don't see myself getting more until I'm proficient. However I do seem to be stricken by Book Acquisition Syndrome. I'm guessing it's a beginner thing? There are so many great books out there. Do...

Absolute beginner here. I'm primarily a visual artist but was feeling the need for a new creative outlet. I heard an interview with Jake Shimabukuro on the radio a few years ago and couldn't believe that sound was coming from an ukulele. Been thinking about it ever since. Yesterday I finally...
