| Post subject: | A new book on ukulele building |
Some of you might know me from my books about mandolins, but for the past couple of years I have been working on a book about making ukuleles. It covers all four sizes of ukulele using different methodologies which can be mixed and matched. Lots of photos and full sized plans. To fund the publication I am running a Kickstarter campaign essentially to pre-sell enough copies (at a discount on the retail) to pay for the print run. These copies will be mailed to the project backers in advance of the book being available to the general public. There is a link from the Kickstarter page to download a couple of sample chapters. Feel free to share the link and tell your friends. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gr ... he-ukulele |

I don't see this pattern in the book anywhere, where can I find it? |

I bought this book on Amazon and am really enjoying it. A boatload of information well worth the price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
