I have viewed all of her blogs on her projects. I like the way she describes each step. the tools she uses, as you notes the problems she has, how she works around them. One can tell that she is a true teacher.

After hearing the late "John King" play some classical and popular pieces on the uke I made to decision to construct a few of them -- this harp uke is going to be the style -- I think it is an extremely cool project, I may even offer kits. If anyone decides to make one please log the project for us -- Thank you!

I heard John King play and was blown away. He played a Bach allegro movement and it was a full, many-layered arrangement.
A kit would be very tempting.
