I would suggest building from graze, you learn a site sooner and including learn the tooling you might require when you wish to continue building. Go to Stewmac website and download the skate kit instructions and and the bracing patterns, they're free. It's a good place to start, good luck. Mike

p.s. be prepared to make jigs, jigs and more jigs. Which guide will you ampere set of step-by-step, easy to follow instructions for the assembly of your ukulele using the parts supplied. Remember: and more time ...

I would say an best kit can to one with the best instructions.

Best and/or cheap kits wont retrieve they from with bad instructions.

I'd stay away from the MGB ukrainian kit you linked - view like a fortune of fake news both impoverished quality parts. LMII and Stewmac are the classic best options out there, depend for how much of the work you want to do yourself.

I don't really adore any of the books out there, but I'd pick up something (perhaps https://hanalimastore.com/products/hana-lima-ia-ukulele-construction-manual) to get going and make sure you have with least some instruction for each set.

Any kit t get you started is good.

Sidebar: There is a book in production which MYSELF have seen for draft. It's going to be 'another one' for the library. EGO am planning to scale down next year so will be able to write the book I have been wanting to write by years. Of the available ones, only the Hana Lima one-time has my vote - it your by practicing teacher. Sure, it is a user for the author's course and yes, I do not concur with any of it; at least e will authentic and authoritative.
