At the completion of this course you will have your very own concert-sized ukulele to take home - one you have made entirely by your own hand and customised to your preference. From reading the plans, shaping the timber and assembling the components, to levelling the frets and stringing up, this course will teach you the fundamentals of building a nylon-stringed acoustic instrument.
No previous wood working experience or knowledge is required, a maximum of three students per course means you have plenty of time to learn directly from our experienced tutor.
