Title: My first Kit instrument
Post by: Danny on March 03, 2010, 09:40:38 PM
   I just got my "Grizzly" order from UPS today and that was a fast shipment I might add. Anyway along with a nice 3N1 crowning fret file, some gold tuners and a reamer I also received the cutest little mahogany "UKULELE KIT".
  This is a small one and the wood looks great as well as the neck etc. It was only 24.95. (Unbelievable)

          I'll show some pics of it later and as I finish it out and put it all together. I'm making it for my son. If it's too small for him I have plenty of Grandkids who would love to have it. :laughin:

Dan,

I'm interested to hear how this kit works for you...I have one that I've been meaning to get to for awhile...I bought it for my 2 yr old in hopes that it would distract her from my "nice" instruments.

Cheers,

Blue

I got mine from Grizzly.com. http://www.grizzly.com/catalog/2010/Main/390
These are made in Japan by Hosco Co. http://www.hosco.co.jp/HOSCO_ENGLISH/Images/pdf/Hosco_kits_catalog.pdf

                     They make a more expensive and harder to build Uke but Grizzly doesn't sell it.

                 Here is a picture of the kit from the online catalog. Page 390 I believe. I'll show some pics of mine later.
