Best Answer

A basic knowledge of instrument building is required. You need a sound box, bridge, fret board, tuners, neck, head, nut and strings. You can obtain many of the basic materials preformed, just requiring assembly. There are a number of blogs and a few videos that show the process. You can also find Ukulele making workshops in some places where you can spend three or four days and make your own Ukulele.
