## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Worthwhile but not detailed enough.
  

*by O***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2016*

The subtitle is truer than the title. It's only a vague guide that requires prior knowledge of tool use and instrument making (which I have). At least half the book is taken up by a wonderful gallery of ukuleles by established luthiers, the rest on playing and stuff that I haven't looked at yet as I'm more interested in building one than playing it. Even so, I would recommend this as a nice looking, helpful look at the instrument, and as a rough guide to building that requires supplementation with a book like Cumpiano's guitar book or similar, and also books on tool use - Ralph Laughton is a good start. Also, introductory classes with local luthiers are worthwhile.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    This really is a good book
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2013*

Having read other reviews on this book, I had been put off ordering it for several months. There is however so little out there available, I finally took the plunge this week. My advice - ignore the bad reviews as this is a lovely book. Well illustrated, informative and full of snippets of other Uke related information. Pictures of some great looking ukuleles in the introduction section to inspire for future builds.There are plans for both the ukuleles that the builds are centred around. I have never made a musical instrument but could certainly make one from this book. It includes ideas for jigs and fixtures to aid the construction process- have already ordered steel pipe to make the bender for the sides. The only unclear section to me is how to make the binding, but I am sure after a few reads this will also become clear. Even if you never go ahead and make one, it is a lovely informative book to have and to broaden your knowledge. Get a copy now!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    and it's really good for that
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 July 2015*

I bought the book to see how ukuleles are made, and it's really good for that. It really helps with those little restoration projects e.g. refinishing a old uke to a good standard. As to making one from scratch, I found the list of tools needed rather intimidating, so that's one for the future. Loved the chapter on luthier makde ukes though - a real inspiration.
