I even have a TV Pal -- a cheap plastic uke popularized by Arthur Godfrey in the early 60s. During the summer, I sometimes take it into the pool with me. Then there's the cigar box uke I put together from a kit from Papa's Boxes and a cigar box I bought for a couple of dollars from a tobacco shop. Although it's voice is rather thin and "tinny," it doesn't sound half-bad! It does have its own unique personality. You can hear me playing a song I wrote for it here.
