Class was twice a week for three hours a night, and nominally five weeks in duration. It actually lasted for a couple of extra sessions, and I had a final session on Saturday that wasn&#8217;t part of the standard class (I learned how to install a pickup in my instrument).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m quite pleased with the way it came out. The sound is a rather more &#8220;trebley&#8221; than I care for, but Edward, who ran the class, tells me that the lower tones will develop as the instrument is played, and getting the sound &#8220;bright enough&#8221; when the instrument is built is the hard part.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the picture of the class with our ukes.
