Wooden DIY 21-Inch Ukulele Building Kit (16pcs)

Build a Real 21-Inch Ukulele from Scratch

Create a fully playable instrument while learning how it's constructed with this Wooden DIY Ukulele Kit. Designed around a 21-inch soprano-style body, the kit includes 16 clearly defined components made from basswood, plastic, metal, and nylon. Each piece is pre-shaped and ready for assembly, allowing you to focus on fitting, finishing, and personalizing your instrument.

The unfinished basswood body and neck feature a smooth surface that's ideal for painting, staining, or decorating with markers and stickers. Nylon strings, plastic fingerboard, bridge pad, and tuning pegs are included, so you can assemble a functional ukulele that's ready to tune and play once completed. This kit is suitable for beginners, hobbyists, classrooms, and craft projects that combine music and hands-on learning.

• Customizable natural finish - The smooth basswood surface is perfect for painting, drawing, or applying decals, making each instrument uniquely your own.
• Functional musical instrument - Once assembled and strung, the ukulele can be tuned and played, offering both a craft project and an entry into music-making.
