    Good on you Rob! Yes, some irony there for sure. This little uke brought $190 at the auction last night. It usually helps if I can be there to demonstrate that it's not a toy but a real instrument..

    I donated a cigarbox uke to the Relay for life. I thought it was ironic that the American Cancer Society wanted to raffle a cbg.

    Thanks Rob. This is the 10th or so instrument I've donated to a cause I believe in. In the fall a little cookie tin uke went to a Hospice auction. I like local groups that work within my community where I can see the good they do. I don't mind selling every now and then but man, what a good feeling this gives!

    That's really nice of you and the uke looks great too.

    You've inspired me. I'm going to find a charity and donate one of my ukes to as well.

    Hopefully someone will want it.

    I'm glad it's had so many alter egos Unc. That'd be cool with T. Robert Johnson!

    That is a sweet~pea.   Jim, I've been playing my mando from you a bit lately.  That poor instrument has been a mando, short tenor, uke and now back to mando - where I should have left it.   Gonna ask T. Robert Johnson if he wants to make a video with it.

    Thanks Keith. Yes, on cardboard cigar boxes I put wood support in strategic spots. This is my first card box and I think it's a bit thinner than CB material. Even with support I haven't been brave enough to try anything but nylon strings for the lower tension on the top.
