I screwed up cutting the sound hole in the cigar box. It was almost a 1/4” off center, which is too much to adjust the neck placement. I’ve been looking for another box for a few months, but couldn’t find anything that had the depth, width, and a clasp that’s needed.
I finally settled on a box I’ve had for awhile. I really like its look, and the wood is great, but it’s a little narrow and long for what I normally do.
That’s OK though. A cigar box uke is a unique instrument, so I decided it’s OK to have a unique box on it. I should be able to finish it up this up by the end of this weekend. I’ll post photos along the way.
This tumblr will chronicle my building a Papas Boxes concert uke, and maybe other ukes in the future.
