2008 Big Island Ukulele Guild Building Project
On Saturday 1/19/08, the Guild began a new ukulele building project. On Saturday 10/4/08 the project was completed. These ukes were built to support our Ukuleles For Young Musicians Project and they will all be donated to deserving young players.We built these ukes from scratch, using traditional techniques. Our membership includes people of all skill levels and experience. Our goal was to provide all members with the basic skills needed to construct an ukulele. We met every 6 weeks or so with demos and hands on work. Members completed the necessary work in their on workshops between sessions. There are some photos of our sessions Here- New entry on 10/12/08
