Weird pics or weird ukes

Gee, perspective can really play tricks. Those ukes in the back look really small compared to the piccolo in front!

And the other pics, look at the size of that watch. Hilarious. If they were as small as they seem, what good would they do? Well one might be on offer in Hollesley, I hear there are all sorts of gullible people attending this year.

If you could make them with hinges they could be used as travel ukes. Next: the neckless uke. No, not without neck. To be worn around your neck. Coming up: the ring uke.

Yes. The portable ukulele, what a fucking winner.

Love this. I want a pair like those in the middle picture to serve peanuts in at parties!

Hi! Sven,
did you make molds for every single size of ukes you are making? Man, these ukes are so small...

Hi Jerry! No, for these miniatures I just winged it. I bent the sides when it was a wider piece of scrap, then clued soundboards on both ends. Then I split it into to halves on the bandsaw. Made necks from an off cut piece of cedar, attached them and put the backs on. No linings or braces on these, we'll see how that goes.

*glued, not clued.

wow...that is super interesting. One piece side I assume.
Any chance for posting a sound sample? I would love to hear how those two sound like.
Thanks Sven.
