Ashokan is an all-inclusive "sleep away music camp" - friendly, supportive and fun!

Meat 'n Taters Ukulele Building Class
I’ve cleared the calendar to schedule a five day ukulele building class this summer! This was the class that launched the Folk School.
Join the ever growing list of folks that learned to build ukes with us.
Participants in the ukulele construction class will each build a mahogany soprano ukulele with a Spanish heel.
Geoff’s construction method utilizes jigs and fixtures to ensure that student’s are able to build a high quality instrument.
This ukulele’s design is not a copy of a period uke, but is based upon the best of several great 1920s instruments including Martin, Gretsch and Indiana’s own, Frank Bremerman.
More importantly students will leave the class with the skills required to design and build ukuleles on their own. Many Blue Stone alumni have built several ukuleles on their own.
Materials include everything needed to build and play the uke including, mahogany for backs, sides and neck, ebony for fingerboard and bridge, natural bone for nut and bridge saddle, Grover Champion tuners and Aquila Nylgut strings.
Some students may have an opportunity to finish their instruments with Tru-oil, a quality, easy to apply oil finish. Other finishing option will be discussed.
This class is loads of fun. There will be opportunities to play evenings. Come to Indiana and immerse yourself in ukulele goodness!
