Making of a wooden case for Ukulele

Here is a project I realised upon the request of my daughter who wanted a case for her Uke.

FB

To be noticed that this uke is tuned in GDAE, my little daughter being actually learning the fiddle ….
I purchased this set of GDAE strings for Uke at “Juste cordes”.
I had to make a new nut because of too much buzzing, due to the important difference in diameter compared to the original strings …

Coming back to the case, the amazing for this is that it is built in a closed case, re-sawn afterwards. This is for being sure that the cuves of the top and bottom would match exactly.

The lining is made of cork.

The handle is made for a modern drawerfor found in the local hardware store.

See the detailed diaporama for this projet.

Merci ! Aucune inquiétude, j'ai mis une bonne tartine de vernis qui ne craint rien ! A bientôt, Christophe __________________________________________ Bonjour ! Très beau travail, mais avez vous prévu un étui pour protéger cet étui ? ;)
