So... this is a toy mandolin / ukelele thing I made for my kids. It's got a solid cherry top, solid cherry back and sides, and a curly maple neck. The frets are machined right into the fretboard.
It sounds like a shoe box with some rubber bands on it. But hey, the kids can't complain... I designed it to be quick and easy to make, and it only took me a year and a half to make it. So there.
I will save you the agony of hearing it, though really it's not that bad. Just kind of like a cheap uke tuned GDAE. I used classical guitar strings to get the tension right.
And, it looks hilarious.
