The one build you'll take with you everywhere
Ukuleles are comfortable, portable, and sound amazing. They're easy to take to the park, the beach, or throw in your backpack—you'll always want it there when inspiration strikes. Why not take up the craft and build one?
You've wanted to start building (or have a project with your kids), but it's challenging to know where to start. Let's face it, you don't need experience at all to build a great instrument on your first try. These tenor uke kits are designed to make your first build enjoyable from start to finish.
No woodworking experience required!
We give you detailed instructions and bracing plans to guide you through each step of the build to get you to the finish line. There's a good chance you already own most of the tools you'll need to build your uke.
To reduce spring-back and aid stability the back and sides are made from high quality Pacific Walnut laminates—this will go a long way to ensuring your first build is painless and enjoyable.
The solid spruce top gives the uke a dynamic sound and will age beautifully over time.

Fantastic kit for the price. Quality as you would expect from StewMac and great instructions included, but still allows for customization in the build.

The kit was complete and the components were quality. You do need to be a seasoned wood worker to be able to do this project with some string instrument knowledge but Stew Mac takes the diffculty out of it for the most part.

In enjoyed building this kit. I am a retired Architectural wood worker and was looking for a project to satisfy my love for wood and music.The kit is well thought out and the instructions were clear. I recommend watching all the videos before you start.I did a couple of modifications. I used a thicker and wider block inside the body for the neck dowels, also I used 3/8" dowels instead of the 1/4" dowels provided. I also had a piece of curly koa I book matched and applied to the head with a stripe of purple heat for interest.I decided to use the low g tuning to get a deeper tone. So I bought D'addario tenor uke strings.All and all I am very happy with the results. It looks good and has a wonderful rich sound.
