What is an Unolele?

My word, my blog, this is what it means.

Unolele = A simple electric ukulele that you can build your self.

Special characteristics that led to the name:

• A musical instrument that can be built using a single (uno...) board.
• When played sounds a lot like a ukulele (...lele).
• Put together thus is of course Unolele. 

Thunderbird - An Early Version of Unolele

The design has been evolving overtime but as of now it also has these features:

• Very simple lines that make it easy to build using hand saw, router, and drill.
• Purchase some parts that are harder to make e.g. pick-up, fingerboard, tuners.
• Compact size with concert scale length with total length like soprano.
