the best, Jerry! the best!
I'm so sad these are discontinued, but stoked that an email got them to put together and list two final "clearance" kits. i wanted something my 6 year old could play whenever he wants without supervision and this fit the bill. i did have to do most of the work:)
not sure what the earlier reviewer was so upset about the toothpick frets for. the wood glue we used actually makes them super sturdy.
i strung it and tuned it like a ukelele because he already knew some uke chords and everything is great on it.
he decorated it with markers all in his own design.

Too light contructed
I bought it for my 11 year old grandson. I determined it wouldn't last a week
in his room. The idea of using tooth picks for frets is unreasonable with
steel strings. I returned it!!
Sorry you didn't think it would work out. We have cardboard instruments here that are 7 years old. We've dropped them on the floor intentionally several times to demonstrate how durable they are. They still sound and play fine and the toothpick frets are holding up great.

Tons of fun, easy to build!
Only 4 stars, because the edge for gluing the sides was *extremely* narrow/thin. Took about 4 hours to fully assembled. I painted mine with black chalkboard paint so I can decorate the top as I feel; the back was also chalkboard painted, but I just signed the whole back with a chalkboard marker, then coated it with spray on lacquer :)
At some point, I'd like to buy a few more, and offer an after school/weekend workshop for disadvantage youths. Thanks, Musicmakers!!
