It’s been ages since I started building a cardboard ukulele and that’s largely because I’ve been waiting for some parts to arrive – namely the tuners.

Ukulele Round Up – 3 April 2015
It’s been a while since I did a round up, that’s mostly because I realised it wasn’t really possible to do one every week – there’s just not enough ukulele stuff out there! Anyway, the round up is back with random frequency from now on…
D.I.Y. Finger Surgery
Whilst working on my cardboard ukulele that I’ve been playing around with lately I was doing some fairly questionable scalpel work. My hand slipped and I sunk the scalpel into the middle finger of my left hand.
Building A Ukulele Out Of Cardboard
I keep looking at ukulele luthiers and their brilliant creations. I’m pretty jealous that they can just build an instrument from nothing. Although I’ve never really had any skills when it comes to DIY or craft, I keep coming back to the idea of creating something myself.

After the rip-roaring success of last weeks round-up (at least 4 people read it, although I was one of them). Here we go with another one…
Ukulele Round Up – 6 Feb 2015
I keep finding ukulele stuff all around the web and I figured it would be a good idea to do a weekly round up. So without further ado, here’s this week’s round up…
Percussion/Tapping On A Ukulele
I keep coming back to tapping on my ukulele, I think it’s because I’m always looking for ways to make it sound a little bit more full. I’ve played around with a rhythm ring and every now and again I try and do a little bit of James Hill style stuff (although obviously nowhere near as good).
