I'm sure... but I wouldn't be able to tap into it because if the market is already small in the US, it is miniscule in Taiwan. Remember even baritone ukes are considered unusual in Taiwan.

Unless it is

Wow! That's nice but I would call that a Mini-Banjo.

Here's a link to how it turned out: http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum ... o-Baritone

Machine tools are endlessly useful.

The real question.... is building a uke more rewarding than building a solidbody mandocello?

Yes and no. Helmolz calculated the rewardship of building a uke to be exactly the same as that of building a solid body mandocello, with magnetic pickups, when rounded to four decimal places. However, it is exactly twice as better when rounded to five or more decimal places. I forget where I read that though.

Maybe some chaldini patterns on the prefrontal cortex?

I like building ukes for all the mentioned reasons. They take up less space. They're less expensive. It's a tad bit faster. But the best thing for me is playing them. As someone here who can literally barely play the guitar, spending time on a uke really helps me understand the music better. With only 4 strings, I can keep better track of what is going on as notes move from chord to chord.

I`ve built a couple of Uke`s.And it was a lot of fun and rewarding.But I`d still rather build a guitar.But like John said a great Uke is a valuable instrument and a lot of fun to play.

I've only built two ukuleles but have to agree with Don. They were quite a bit less work and quicker to build. Rewarding though.

HIII Fellas !! Tell me does this uke make my butt look big ?
