I recently got to spend an afternoon with Thomas Boardman he told us some great stories and how he made his famous box uke. He's now in his 90's and still plays ukulele I took him my 10 string uke to try as well as a 3 string CBG which he loved.9353854690?profile=original9353856452?profile=original
