This site is for the eclectic array of interests that is Titch the Clown (Ian Titulaer), Ukuleles, Boats and whatever else takes my fancy
Lately I have been a maker of ukuleles. I give my ukes away on a donation to charity or play it forward basis. I send a uke and when you receive it you give a donation to a charity or find some other ingenious way to play it forward . Donations have varied from $50 for a simple cookie tin uke to $700 for a custom pineapple. My current charity is St Vincent de Paul but feel free to donate to yours. Send me an email ian.titulaer@gmail.com , contact me on facebook messenger https://m.me/ian.titulaer or give me a call +61408691904 is all you need to do. I can make any of the wood ukes you see here without too much hassle but I can only make cookie tin ukes from tins I have or can buy easily.
I have mailed ukes all over the world. International postage (including tracking) is about 20 Australian dollarydoos for the ultralight travel ukes and 40 to 50 Australian dollarydoos ( 25 to 33 yankee dollars) for most others depending on weight, with one recent Tahitian style costing $60. COVID-19 had significantly delayed mail to a number of locations and most of these have now resolved themselves. Lately mail to the USA is taking 2 to 3 weeks. However some locations may still have significant delays. If you are lucky enough to live in Australia I get charged by Cubic weight rather than actual weight so it is dependent on size rather than weight with a large uke recently costing $55 to send to WA, mostly standard size ukes cost around $30 or so. If you are in or near Canberra you can pick it up at my place or have it dropped off for free.
When I make a uke I almost always add a photo to this: Photo album of ukes

Find subpages on half sheet boats, a youtube channel on how to play the ukulele instructions on how to make your own ukulele (mine have been more or less free) and a one sheet folding pirate ship.
No ukuleles were harmed in the making of this web page
