This was made as a kid's toy, but is it possible to put real strings on it and somehow tune it and have a "practice" `ukulele?

I picked up a "Sponge Bob" plastic uke at Toys r Us. It tuned up nicely and actually had geared metal tuners. Tone was what you would expect but it was playable. |

Pretty cool bass, Fran. I know the web site says made exclusively of cardboard, but gee whillikers, the neck looks like wood to me.
Thanks for the links to the wood kits, RicDoug! |

You can make them these, Wanda. I made one and it was a simple build:

There's also a standup bass made from a cardboard box: http://www.edencompanies.com/bogdon/
You can really play this one.

Paul said the dulcimers have a regular wooden fretboard and regular tuners. I guess I was thinking it would be an easy way to teach keiki in case their attention waned after a while...that way no great expense was made. But now that I think on it, no reason to go to all that trouble for cardboard.
But it was cute for a keiki to pretend with. |

Well, Sheila had a cardboard mountain dulcimer that sounded pretty good.
