Hi Everyone,

We have added a new video of a baritone cigar box ukulele at our YouTube page, click below to view and please share!  This is the acoustic version, we will be adding a video/sound clip of the electric version shortly.  It really sounds killer!

Some pictures of another baritone ukulele.  Shown is the back, front and neck details.  Time to finish and glue the fretboard down.

Here are some pictures of a family of 4 ukuleles. These were made to order. The 2 concert scale ukuleles are for my sisters kids. The 2 baritone ukuleles are for orders. I think that I have finally learned how to finish the wood. I will keep it a secret for now. If you want to know, just ask.

Currently we are  building 6 ukuleles.  4 of these are 20″ scale length baritones and 2 will be longer 23″ scale lengths.
 
I have received orders for 2 ukuleles and decided, “why not” and added to the build.  The necks are roughed out, finger boards cut, mounting holes drilled and stain applied to the bottom of the boxes.

I really like the leopard wood.

Most likely I will use this or the orange wood…I like the grain.

Thanks for listening. We enjoy reading your comments..

Whew, finished the 2 Ukuleles’ this morning. Had to install the strings on the way down.

Pictures of Teddy playing at our table. We should have charged $5.00 to stand and listen. Lots of interest and lots of people thinking about building their own. Not a lot of buyers. oh well…
