Taking complete design influence from RISA, I made a mini practice Uke. Built from chipboard, even after the varnish I wouldnt want to get this thing wet!
It played well – very quiet!!! (no surprise) – great for a beginner to practice and not wake anyone up with beginner sounds!

Very nice looking travel uke.
Thanks! – I just need to do some more travelling now!
