Ever feel like playing slide on a uke? One of our customers in Virginnia did and so we make him a weissen-uke. You can see and hear it in action on you tube here.

We here in the cold north have a less refined project: lap uke and travel lap in scale of the baritone uke.

I have scraps I've been keeping with just this idea in mind. Always wondered how it would sound...and now I know! Mr. Green

Hilo made a small (19" scale)Weissenborn-style Hawaiian guitar in the 20s. You can see and here it in this video (also slide playing on a soprano ukulele):

I have electrified the soprano ukulele (Lace Dobro pickup) and it sounds like this:
