This is quite fasinating - This gentleman from England made a complete working Ukulele from wooden Matchsticks - Over 10,000 matchsticks were used in making this masterpiece. Plus there is over 2 pounds of glue holding this all together. But that is not the amazing part. This ukulele took over 400 hours to make - Jack Hall - Did this 5 hours a day for a long long time.
Pictured to the left is the creator’s son - He looks prety proud of his father. I would be too. That really is a nice looking Ukulele.
The detail on this is incredible. The Herringbone of the matchsticks using the semi-burnt heads to create this pattern - Now thats cool.
Below you will see a video of someone playing a Ukulele - In case you have no idea what one sounds like.
I remember as a kid - Going to the local park to see Tiny Tim play on the bandstand. Tiny Tim was a pretty good musician fromĀ I recall. The Park I saw him at was Kennywood Park located in West Mifflin PA - The RollerCoaster Capitol of the World. Home of the Thunderbolt - The Steel Phantom - The Jack Rabbit - The Racer - Phantom’s Revenge. Well you get the Idea.

Now on to the music - Below is Star Wars Performed on a Uke. Yes, All you Trekies and Sci-Fi Geeks we have combined the two - A Uke with a good theme song.
