Make an 8-String Ukulele from a Cheap Makala Dolphin

You can make this yourself from a cheap ukulele like the Makala, and give it a richer sound. An 8 string ukulele is played just like a normal ukulele, so you won't have to re-learn chords or anything!
If you want to make it yourself, here is my full instruction video:

The background music is random stuff I played on the ukulele. You can download it for free here:

cheers!


Extra info:
In this video I'm using a plastic Bugs Gear ukulele, but you can do this with a normal wooden ukulele too. In an upcoming video I'll make the gizmo mod on my Makala Dolphin. By the way all the background music from the video is made with the modified 8-string gizmo Bugs Gear soprano uke from the video.
If you prefer to see instructions as text and pictures, I've also put the instructions on Instructables (where it's having big success funnily):
