here are some pics of my latest Grizzly kit mutilation. i got the idea from the foldable Voyage-Air guitars. we usually backpack when we travel so we try to carry as little as possible. i thought maybe a foldable ukulele would be something easy to stuff in the backpack.
after the build was complete, it turns out the uke really isn't any more compact than it was to start with. so perhaps it was all a waste of time, just another conversation piece. the good news is it doesn't sound like shit. the strings actually hold the tuning fairly well after unfolding and folding. only minor tuning adjustments need to be made. i had to remove the fretboard at the 11th fret, but the hinge serves well as a 12th fret. intonation still good. kit and hardware = $30. hours of my life i'll never get back = a few sound sample here: some related links: Grizzly Ukulele Kit A very enthusiastic kid Only the best movie ever made Ballzzzzzzzz
