A concert-size electric ukulele with a piezo pickup, onboard preamp and built-in tuner. Print it yourself, let us print the neck, or get it fully built and ready to play.
Every option has the same electronics and hardware. The only difference is how much you print and build.
You print the neck, body and small parts. We ship you all the hardware and electronics.
We print the neck for you. You print the body and small parts on a standard printer.
No build needed. Plug in and play.

All three include the same hardware, strings, piezo pickup, preamp with tuner and EQ, and 1/4 in output jack, with batteries installed.
An under-saddle piezo pickup feeds an onboard preamp, so you can plug straight into an amp, pedal or PA. Plug-in connectors mean no soldering required.
Sits under the saddle and picks up every string evenly.
3-band EQ (bass, middle, treble) and volume right on the body.
Tune up anywhere, no clip-on needed.
A standard jack that plugs into any guitar amp, pedal or PA.
If your print bed is at least 340 × 320 mm (ex: Bambu Lab H2S), the DIY Kit is the best value. If your print bed is smaller than that (but at least 256 × 256 mm), get the DIY Kit + Pre-Printed Neck. No printer, or just want to play? Go Fully Built.
Easy. With a 0.6 mm nozzle, printing takes about 7.5 hours for the DIY Kit + Pre-Printed Neck, or about 12.5 hours if you print the neck too (roughly double that with a 0.4 mm nozzle). Assembly takes under an hour with a screwdriver with Phillips and 4 mm hex bits, a 10 mm or adjustable wrench, flush cutters or wire snips, and optionally a clamp to press in the fret wires. Both kits come with a step-by-step build guide (online or PDF) and a video tutorial. See the build guide.
No. The electronics use plug-in connectors — no soldering required. The piezo pickup plugs into the preamp, and the preamp plugs straight into the output jack.
You'll receive an email with a download link right after checkout: 3MF files with print settings already set, plus STL files if you'd rather start from a blank slate. You can start printing while your hardware is on the way.
All parts can be printed in standard PLA, but really any material works. If your ukulele will spend time outdoors or in heat, we recommend a material like ASA, which resists both heat and UV. Printing the neck yourself? You can use a stronger material like ABS or a fiber-reinforced filament, but it isn't necessary.
We don't recommend splitting the neck to fit a smaller printer. The neck is designed as one piece because a joint creates a weak point that can flex under string tension. It prints diagonally on a bed of at least 340 × 320 mm (ex: Bambu Lab H2S). Have a smaller printer? The DIY Kit + Pre-Printed Neck comes with the neck already printed for you.
Yes. It still sounds good unplugged, but for the best experience plug into an amp or PA.
We're taking pre-orders now. The DIY Kit and DIY Kit + Pre-Printed Neck ship by December 1, and your print files are emailed right after checkout so you can start printing today. The Fully Built ukulele is built to order and ships by December 7.
Two CR2032 3V lithium coin cells, which sit in a battery compartment built into the output jack. Batteries are included and already installed in every option.
