It has a voice!
The Flying V tenor ukulele actually sings (my hands are pretty stiff and awkward, but I'll learn).
It was fun to build, with a neck bought from Walmart, and the rest stuff I had lying around.
The picture was taken before the strings and tuning pegs were installed. The body is plywood, with blah grain, so I painted it. It's a gold undercoat, with misted blue and green.
I really enjoyed building it. Making an instrument that can produce music... that's
special.
And Sylvia didn't even howl.
Sylvia will be developing quite discerning taste in music.☺️
ReplyDeleteYes, Michele, she will! She does have a lovely singing voice herself, rather a contralto, with no huskiness.
DeleteSlide/steel guitar style will work just fine.
