It's been about a year and a half since I first went down the rabbit hole of designing 3D printed ukuleles.  The newest addition to my family of ukes is a soprano guitalele (or guitarlele, or ukitar) - a cross between guitar and ukulele.  It has six strings, tuned like a guitar, but the small body shape of a ukulele. 

The song is cleverly called Guitalele Song.  I'm playing it on a super-soprano guitalele, with the body size of a soprano uke, but a 17 inch scale length.   The super soprano is tuned to A, rather than E like a guitar,   The video also serves as build instructions.  In case anyone here has a 3D printer and wants to make one the files can be downloaded the files at https://makerworld.com/en/models/1091773#profileId-1085361

Feedback on the recording/mix is always greatly appreciated.

Below is the full family of ukes.

I love your colorful family ! Very clever and creative. The song and video demonstrate it well. As for the mix, I responded to the kick drum like it was a bit too strong for the song. Otherwise, all good.

Thanks for the listen and feedback on the kick.  I appreciate it.
