These are photos of a ukulele I am building using a Grizzly ukulele kit. It takes minimal tools to complete, so far just a few clamps, a wood file, and a 7/64 drill bit. The entire project took maybe 6 hours of actual tinkering and sanding (over the course of a week or so). Please note that I did not follow the manufacturers instructions, they say to apply the protective finish before attaching the bridge saddle. I just got anxious to hear it play! I have read some reviews of the Grizzly Uke and many people have difficulty with the quality of the sound. With wood and with kits, there will be some human coaxing needed to really bring out the best sound. I had to really work down the string nut grooves to get the action right.

So this is what is sounds like before the finish and before adjusting the the string nutClick Here to hear how it sounds!

And this is what is sounds like after adjusting the action of the strings.Sample 2
