Student Finished her Ukulele with me. Includes build video.

Post by John Parchem » Sun Apr 14, 2019 1:55 am

I had my first teaching experience an 18 year old senior girl in a one week ukulele course for her senior project. What a trip building an instrument in a week is way faster than I even make them. It turned out nice, and after fixing the neck resonating exactly at 392 Hz causing a horrible wolf note where the G just went away, the uke sounds good. It looks good as well.

I have to say I am beat but it was a very rewarding experience for me.

Wow. That was pretty amazing. Very nice, Lily made a nice uke and you did a fine job teaching, John!
The video was great, maybe you folks could do a "How to" ?

Thanks Bob welcome aboard! The group is somewhat quiet we are are looking to maintain this forum and grow it again after a prolonged illness and death of the founder. There are a number of us that post, and it does not take many more before the group reaches a critical mass.

Thanks for you comments on the Ukulele and video, By how to, do you mean how to make a video or how to make a ukulele?

Wow, John, had not thought of how to make a video. I would like to at some time. I was thinking more on how to build a a uke video, however. The book I found seems to be lacking a bit. Say, I think I saw that topic for guitar books elsewhere...
See you next month!
