Step

—Installing the Sound Board

Now it is time to install the soundboard (Part A) of your Gittylele. Run a bead of glue along the top of the side-

walls, the same way you installed the back of the instrument.

Carefully fit the soundboard in place using the tabs on either side. Wipe away excess glue and clamp or

weight appropriately for drying.

As with previous steps, it’s important to distribute the weight evenly on each side to maximize the strength of

the bond.

Clean out any excess glue that may have gotten into the holes of the tailpiece.

OPTIONAL STEP—Decorating

This step is entirely optional, but if you want to add some custom decoration to your ukulele, this is a good

time to do it, before any additional hardware gets added. Staining, painting, wood burning, drawing, applica-

tion of stickers/decals—this is YOUR ukulele and there are no rules. Decorate it how you want!

Just be careful about adding anything that will interfere with the strings once they are installed—maybe read

ahead to get an idea of where they will be. We also recommend not adding anything that will get in the way of

being able to comfortably play the instrument. For example, we advise against adding any hardware or addi-

tions that would stick up and interfere with the “picking zone” on the instrument—where the picking hand will

be moving when plucking/strumming the ukulele.
