Bedpan Ukulele

With a vintage metal bedpan and some other supplies, I built a ukulele. The oak neck has 15 frets set up in a tenor (17 inch) scale. It is tuned like a baritone ukulele (dgbe') with geared tuners. The bridge is a square u-bolt tightened around the neck.

wow, that's pretty intense.  Do you think if you shaped your wood components so they had more surface contact with the metal you would get more resonance, or do you think its about as good as it could get?

The wood is fairly flush with the flat surface of the pan. The two dots on the neck are a couple of bolts attaching it to the bedpan. Installing a sound board over the hole would probably add to the sound.

What did you make the nut from?

@Zakulele

The nut is made from a small piece of rosewood.
