I am a hobby builder making ukuleles in my shed, almost entirely with hand tools. I aim to use sustainably sourced timber for all my instruments, focusing on the use of indigenous British woods.

Cigar Box Sopranino
Mini cigar box uke prior to finishing, tuned ebgd an octave higher than baritone. Made from an old solid cedar Henri Wintermans cigar box. Bookmatched Douglas fir top (off-cut), sapele neck (off-cut), and English laburnum fingerboard/bridge.
This is excellent! I love cigar box string instruments. They sound very unique and soft to the ears.
