Recently my daughter has started getting into playing the ukulele, I ran across the instructables post and it seemed like a pretty straightforward project, so I went for it. Video of it playing (terribly) in the substack post. I hope you all enjoy the read.
Ukulele? Mekulele? Ourkulele!
Sounds better than I expected
That was my thoughts. It’s got a little twangy to it, and if you play it next to a normal uke there is a definite difference, but for what it is, I was really happy.
Thanks for sharing the resource! The documentation people like you share is very helpful in making these projects less daunting
Cool stuff, but seriously consider getting your daughter a decent wooden one if she keeps being interested. They don’t have to cost hundreds of dollars but something around $50 will give you a decent beginners instrument. From my experience plastic ukuleles sound terrible and are somehow not as easy to play.
I have a plastic backed one with a wood front that has solid tone so I imagine this could work
after reading and listening to the result it sounds better than the wood type that tourists buy on the cheap
