looking forward to seeing your tenor banjo....21'', would that be 'baritone length?'...can't wait to see it. Some really nice acoustic sound coming from your build, well done, great job.

That really rings nice. Great projection.

That's great Will. I'm glad those vids helped! A heat gun from good ol' Harbor Frieght is my weapon of choice too. I use it to take stuff apart too since the heat softens up the glue.

Thanks Uncle John.  Jim your PETE1 videos with round bowls and Cigar Boxes inspired me to to make this one.  I experimented with al kinds of heat sources with no luck, so I finally went to HF and bought a heat gun and it worked great on low.  This uke has replaced my Cat Bowl resonator as my favorite.

Very cool Will. I've made several banjos and ukes using PETE1 bottles and cake containers and they do work great! The first one I made with a cigar box I heated it and shrunk the plastic a bit too much and collapsed the box sides! You did a fantastic job.

Excellent description and a nice instrument.  Man, it rings out!
