Fascinating to watch! I was surprised at how much manual labour goes into the manufacture of the ukes. The builders may use a lot of machines, but they still display a lot of skill in doing what they do to build a uke.
It's not unlike a skilled luthier who would have more time to craft one over a factory running on tighter deadlines but the factory workers gain a lot of skill by the sheer volume they churn out, and any problems you find in these ukuleles are due to sloppy workers and/or poor ukulele design and/or materials, with the latter two not the fault of the factory worker.
Wow this was so cool, and a real treat for me to see the whole process of what goes in to making a ukulele from start to finish. Thank you for this fun and satisfying peek into the birth of a Ukulele.
While I still appreciate the work and craftsmanship that went into this, you can tell the difference between this factory that is "making instruments", and from other ukulele manufacturers who are making art in the form of instruments. That last sound sample, they should have tuned it up a bit better before recording that bit.
Simple, more $ compensation for time and experience in fabricating them singly. I recently bought a $70 uke like this. I'm impressed at the remarkable quality and value. As recently as the 1980s there was a lot of unplayable garbage in the market as "beginner" guitars and ukes. All they did was frustrate and stop a lot of people from continuing to learn. We're lucky today to have these nice sub-$100 instruments to enjoy.
Makes me appreciate my Koaloha and Kanile’a ukuleles even more.

Thank you for watching.
Think of all the music that will come from these ukes over the years to come. Wonderful.
The simultaneous front and back side radiusing is impressive.
Can’t believe I just watched the whole thing! Excellent!
Wow. I didnt know so much work went into making one of these. Well done.
You should see how high end Hawaiian ukuleles are made. That’s even more impressive.
Chevere, muy bueno! Pero como se hace de manera artesanal. Con herramientas convencionales( tradicionales)

Mmmm..high end ones aren't perfect. One of the pricey K brands has a flat headstock I don't like. Of course it's subjective.

I would ike to have seen the lazer engraving procedure around soundhole and on headstock also.

Translated into English, what do you mean by "price per seed?"
This is what our grandfathers did in Chicago.
