Thanks Dani and Bear. I've since made several others with cardboard boxes and they all have quite a nice tone. The song is an original that I wrote for the CBN Christmas album that year.

That's a cardboard uke? Wow. I didn't expect that at all. The tone is gorgeous. First time I've heard that song too. Bitter sweet and beautiful.

Thanks Unc. I'm not sure about a soundpost in yours, usually I do that if the top seems to need some help.

Thanks Nancy.

Sweet song Jim~that uke sounds really good ~~~ Meowwwww^^
