DIY Ukulele
I didn't had any higher expectations, (for 20€ what can you expect) just order it for fun to see.
Laid down a lot of work, was carefully with assembly and gluing.
Painted with spray paint and clear lacquer in many layers, so the surface of the body became quite thick.
Became a duller sound when I knocked on the body compared to a more expensive mahogany ukulele.
Changed the strings to Aquila Regular Soprano 251579.
I also mounted two piezo discs inside the body under the bridge as microphones to connect it to an amplifier, that sound became less successful, thin and screaming.
But the sound without an amplifier is absolutely fantastic, so deep, soft and beautiful.
A pleasing positive surprise.
Now I play more on my "cheap DIY ukulele" than my more expensive Kala ukuleles.
So today I ordered another one, this time a Soprano, and Aquila Regular Soprano strings: 251579
The parts are not perfectly made, you have to sand the surfaces with sandpaper. You need some tools such as clamps etc.
There are also some clips on Youtube that is good to watch before you start assembling.
But if you are careful and think twice or more, it will be an interesting and fun journey.

Bygg kvaliten var rätt bra och hade inte många fel förutom ett fåtal. Min nacke var ungefär 1-2 mm för tjock för fingerbrädan. Den saknade även en skruv och en vit plupp för att täcka skruvhålen på bryggan. Men bortsett från detta är det rätt värt priset
