A quick demo of my home-made resonator ukulele made (partly) out of Coca-Cola tinplates.
It's a tenor-scale (17"), with a slightly larger than usual nut width (1.5").
The body is made out of purpleheart, it has a mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard.
It sounds better than I expected, especially once I got the tuning more or less right...
The next challenge is to expand my ukulele repertoire; it deserves to be played more than the two or three ukulele tunes I know so far... This one is my attempt at Pete Howlett's lesson on how to play "Hot Tamales" by Robert Johnson. (youtube.com/watch?v=Cg8CumKjXno)
