Finally, I have a plan. Together with a local museum, I will teach a group of 17 kindergarten children (5 to 6 year olds) to built a cigar box guitar. Everyone of them will (hopefully) have his/her own self-built guitar in May/June (with one building season per month). We plan to make this a project which is repeated annually with kindergarten children in their last year before they go to school. Thank you for your building videos.
I really like the full acoustic sound from this one. I have an Oscar Schmidt concert ukulele and I really like it. For the money it is hard to beat their quality and acoustics. I've been contemplating either buying an 8 string tenor or building one. I'm surprised there is no truss rod due to the extra string tension. Wondering if there is a steel bar imbedded in the neck. If I build one I think I'll reinforce it with a steel bar or a split neck with aluminum center. Thanks for posting this. It has inspired me to get off the fence.
It has a really nice sound. It's somewhere between a ukulele and a mandolin. I know Oscar Schmidt has a reputation for giving a lot of bang for the buck.
Hello Steve I have a 8 string kala ukulele its a great ukulele but I'm having the hardest time tuning it trying to turn all 8 strings on my ukulele tuner is so frustrating anyway cool Steve.

I'm glad you found the review to be inspirational. The neck reinforcement sounds like a good idea. It might not be needed but it surely won't hurt.

It really is a nice instrument!

Thanks! You may try using a guitar pick to pluck the strings separately as you tune it.
@@stevesstrings5243 thanks a lot
