58 – Just For Fun

In this post: The Box-A-Lele Company

Note: If you are new to the ukulele, I suggest you read the posts in the order in which they are numbered.




With schools cutting back on the arts, it may be that the only way your kids can get some music in school is to have a lunch box that doubles as a ukulele. If so, The Box-A-Lele Company in San Francisco has just the thing for you. It really IS a lunch box that doubles as a ukulele. It's called a LunchBox-A-LeLe. They also have CigarBox-A-LeLes, WoodBox-A-LeLes and TinBox-A-LeLes. They have a big range of very cool designs. In fact, they will even make a cigar box uke for you using your own cigar box. If you want to buy or just plain smile, check out their web site.

How well do they play? Check out the sample tracks on the web site. Don't expect them to sound like classic Martins. They do, however, sound like ukes, and if you you take it all in the spirit in which it's intended, you should have a lot of fun with them.
