Cardboard Ukulele Demo

Here is a Uke I built from Cardboard, Toothpicks, and scrap wood. My Playing does not do it justice, but it sounds better than nearly every uke I have played! Who says you need expensive woods in a Uke?

ignore last comment. im amazed and impressed! did you invent/design this yourself or do instructions on how to make a uke out of cardboard exist?

I was inspired by Bogdon Music's Cardboard Upright Bass and Woody's cardboard ukulele I found on the web. Other than that I just kind of winged it.

@eschelar man, if you'd do that for your students, then you must be the most generous teacher alive

My first video is a plywood shamisen. I wish I could have made such nice music when I posted it.

You made a very nice instrument. Well done.

I thought this was so cool, I built my own version, and am now busy making a second! Thanks!
