Sound Samples

On the page will be links to various sound samples of instruments I've built.  As I'm not much of a player, these will probably short segments of cord changes, strums, and types of pickings, rather than full songs. Maybe someday. For now these will be examples of what these ukes can sound like. All are recorded on my Tascom DP-02CF recorder using MXL condenser mics, DI boxes, and/or Alesis effects. These were transfered to my computer and finished as mp3 files in Audacity.



1)   Kitchen Remodel Formica Concert 01   -   This really found it's voice when I attached a K&K Hotshot transducer to the outside soundboard. I'll post acoustic and electronic examples.

2)   Kitchen Remodel Zebra Wood Concert 02 -   Not a bad sound, but I know I can do better.

3)   Prototype Drew Drop Tenor 03  -   This has not electronics.

There won't be any sound samples. I did a destruction test on this instrument. It is no more.


4)   Drew Drop Tenor 04  Low-G   -  This has a Samba transducer. I will post a few different combinations. Some have multiple parts mixed together.
