Making a custom ukulele

In this video I make custom ukulele for the Thomann Harley Benton DIY Kit Challenge. Dearest Thomann People, my shorter videos for this entry have been posted to Instagram and TikTok: feel free to watch this longer video detailing the process, or skip to the bits you want to watch using the chapter links. Cheers, Leonie.

Oh good, someone else doing a ukulele! I'll be assembling mine later today or tomorrow, so the stuff about intonation was very handy to see.

Good luck! I look forward to seeing what you do. :)
