I Finished a Project
Nov 14, 2020 08:47:12 #
As I've mentioned before, I'm into ukuleles. I had heard of people making ukes out of tennis rackets, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was a learning experience. I would several wooden rackets on eBay and started working on a Wilson Chris Evert. It's not perfect, but it sounds nice, and I learned a lot making it. Lot of improvising. The body is western cedar, and I added oak to the neck. It's not totally finished yet. I still have to clean it up and adjust it. Total cost was $65.00. My next project is a Halloween uke.

That is really neat. I envy your ability to play one. I bought one and a how to book but have made no progress. I just put it in with my keyboard, banjo and guitar all of which I can't play. I have never had the time to apply my desire to my schedule.

Very interesting. Wish I could hear what it sounds like. The type of wood determines the sound doesn't it? It is really good looking but hard to play under the best of conditions.
