Ukulele DIY-Kit Sopran : A decent kit

10 years ago

I got this for my wife - she likes them, not sure why ..

Checking it on arrival, it was well packed and all parts were in correct shape. I bought a mandolin kit from the US a couple of years ago and it needed a lot of adjustment to get it to fit together. The Uke just went together like a dream.

It isn't solid wood and, so, doesn't have much real depth to the sound. Also, the top ply isn't all one piece - there is a join running across the waist. Thus, grain filler [at least] is needed and a solid colour has to be used.

However, the price indicates that it isn't the most serious of instruments ... suffice to say it is good fun in the making and the playing. If you like ukeles ..
