Want to make your own ukulele? After making your own rustic instrument, you’ll learn how to play a few songs with friends. No experience (in either woodworking or music making) necessary. Your uke will be fretless to play with a slide—bring your own slide: options include a commercial slide, a 3/4″ socket, or the neck of a beer bottle. When you’re done making your uke, you can learn and play a little music together.
Class size 12
Level Beginner and above
Student Supply List You’ll need 1×4 cut to 26” and a piece of baseboard trim cut to 6” (should be 2 ¼” w x ½” thick). Bring your (preferably) cordless drill and a compass saw (if you have one).
This workshop requires a Woodlanders Day Fee. Learn more here.
