Build Your Own Cigar Box Ukulele"Recommendations For Success

By Walker Hayes

Have you thought about building your own cigar box ukulele but youre unsure if you have the right stuff? You may have looked at all the ukuleles for sale at multiple online sites. Maybe you dont need a professional instrument, but just a beginner ukulele. Maybe youre looking for that perfect, unique Christmas gift. With the wide range of prices, maybe youve thought its time you considered building your own. A cigar box instrument can offer the best of both worlds, one that is simple to make and at the same time offers a high quality, well playing instrument. Check out these insider techniques and youll see that you can put together a beautiful, good sounding, acoustical instrument, provided you start with the stuff presented here.

No matter which of the basic ukuleles you choose"soprano, concert, tenor or baritone, you can have a successful build, if you start at the right place. The place to start is the box, which is the most unique part of a cigar box instrument. Thats our primary concern here; pay close attention to the following four key elements 1. Use the right box 2. Reinforce the box 3. Use the right hardware and attachment methods 4. Follow the rules

Cigar box ukuleles are an outgrowth of tramp art culture where the idea was to build using leftovers that were meant for a completely different initial use and were like headed for, or already in the trash heap. So bear in mind that your sound box, that most basic element of any ukulele building kit, depends in this case on using discarded, although oftentimes extravagant, very well constructed and enchantingly beautiful, packaging material. You will find many sizes, shapes, length to width ratios, thicknesses and materials when looking at cigar boxes. It is best not to use all-cardboard boxes in the construction of your ukulele. Pick from whatever boxes are available, but bear in mind the following guidelines for optimum size depending on the instrument you are building.

Soprano Ukulele use a box between 7 and 9 long Concert Ukulele use a box between 8 and 10 long Tenor Ukulele use a box between 8 and 10 long Baritone Ukulele use a box between 9 and 11 long

When choosing the length you wont have much control over the width, but remember that anything less than 6 in width will have a tendency to reduce the acoustic effect, and as a rule wider is better. Deep can be better too, up to a limit, with a minimum depth of just over 2. Dont overlook the need for reinforcing your box. Use x blocks glued inside the corners of your box with top-quality Titebond II wood glue or equal. A thin, even coat of glue on two sides of each block is all you need. Place these blocks so they float above the bottom of the box. This bottom of the box is usually solid or laminated wood, and will become the sound board for your instrument, and not allowing the blocks to touch the bottom prevents any interference with soundboard vibration. Use a 3/16 x 3/8 support block glued on its edge inside the soundboard directly below or very near the location of the bridge. This will reduce the slight indentation of the soundboard caused by string tension.

Dont use cheap attachment methods or anything less than high quality screws. Use an awl or a nail set to mark an indention in the box so the screws and other fasteners will be located exactly. Pre-drill any pilot holes for fasteners and use only hand tools to drive screws or tighten nuts. Dont skimp on fasteners and other attachments. Use only the best.

One last thing to remember is to follow the rules. This is the most important point of all. There are two basic rules you must remember when building a cigar box ukulele, or a cigar box banjo for that matter. Rule #1 is Do it your way, and rule #2 is Dont forget rule #1. Once youve dealt with the basic box preparation steps above, you use your creative imagination to its fullest with added design and fabrication techniques using these same two rules. Good luck to you and good building. - 18780

Karaoke Singers - How To Control Your Breathing & Sing Better

By Tina Welsh

One of the most central but oftentimes forgotten facets of good singing is to groom a solid breath control technique. Numerous fresh or undisciplined singers don't even have an inkling that by breathing properly, they are not only able to handle a note lengthier, have a more lasting tone and will not become breathless easily. That is why having right singing lessons before a singer set in motion his/her singing career is so vitally fundamental.

Many individuals must have believed that why should they concern about breathing techniques when they already understand how to breathe. If they don't how to breathe then they would have already croaked, wouldn't they?

Come on, singing breath control is more than merely knowing how to breathe. It is a breathing technique and can earn a world of a difference if you require to sing better.

To most people, breathing just signifies that you are just occupying 2 bags (your lungs) with air and then squeeze them out over your vocal cords, right? WRONG! It is a good deal more than that.

So what is the proper singing technique? Well, have you learned of vocalists lecturing about singing from the diaphragm? Well, what they are verbalizing about is the singing breathing proficiency or breath control by your diaphragm.

When you take a breath, are you allowing your belly to move out of the way of at bottom of the bags (lungs)? If not, you won't start out with enough air to get you through a amount of notes without expecting to take a breath in again. Hence you will get breathless pretty quick.

The correct way to take in air is to take a breath in a fine, deep breath and think breathing that breath into your tummy. If you do that, your stomach will inflate outwards, out of the way of your instant occupying up lungs.

That means that your lungs will have more capability to take in more air and when you breathe out or release the air when singing, the normal motility of your stomach coming back in acts like an accordion, regularising the outflow of air. It this way, your singing tone will be more steady and gratifying to listen to.

As you are now acquiring more air with each breathing space, you are now able to hold notes farther, able to hit higher notes and will not get breathless as easily too.

Now the next thing to study is to let your vocal cords be the controller of the air supply, permitting what it demands to pass through and at the same time breathing ordinarily.

There are umpteen philosophies on breathing proficiencies for letting the air passed through your vocal cords, like do you "let" the air out, do you "hold" the air back, do you "push" the air out.

You see, the most general problem with running out of breathing space when singing has little to do with breathing although it does play a part! That trouble has to do with leaving too much air to escape when you are emptying your lungs during a song. If your vocal cords are coming together with a good secure seal, it takes very little air to sing a deep and firm tone!

Still, if you are singing into falsetto or if you have not establish your chest sound at all (some adult females in reality have this problem), you will be letting needless air escape while you are singing and you will be running out of breath much earlier than you want to. So by using the accurate method of breath control when you sing and you will never commence breathless again. - 18780
