Official Luthiers Forum!

I am a member of the Ukulele Luthiers Facebook group. There were postings requesting building plans. In particular, plans and Ukulele Construction Manual by Mike Chock from the now closed Hana Lima 'Ia school of Ukulele building. I recently became aware that all but one set of my plans have been lost during a move. Below is what I posted.

Great News! I have been in touch with Mike Chock, the founder of the Ukulele Guild of Hawaii. He will be able to provide Ukulele building plans and his Ukulele Construction Manual thru the Ukulele Guild of Hawaii web site https://www.ukuleleguildofhawaii.com/. The guild is currently hosting it’s 23 annual exhibition and workshops but should have the store up and running in a week or two. Mike is a trained luthier who ran the Hana Lima ‘Ia (made by hand) ukulele building school. I expect there will be standard ukulele plans and Kasha braced ukulele plans available. I cannot wait to get the Kasha braced plans again. I know of a couple of Pro builders who are using Mike’s Kasha plans. Go for it.
