Aloha! No, we aren’t having a class in Hawaii, however, we will bring a little bit of Hawaii to Indiana as we build a popular Hawaiian instrument, the ukulele. At the end of the week, students will have their own tenor ukulele to play as they sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”! John will provide high-grade materials including figured Tasmanian blackwood, rosewood fingerboards and bridges, and sapele mahogany necks. The instrument will be built from scratch, including neck carving. The ukulele will be ready for finish at the end of the week. Whether participants are new to building stringed instruments or are experienced builders, this class will teach new skills and methods such as soundboard bracing, joining necks to the body, and much more. Mahalo!
