Hi,
I'm Steve Gerardi. I'm an occupational therapist, university professor, novice ukulele player, and cigar box guitar luthier. I started this channel to share my journey of discovery in learning to build and play stringed musical instruments. While searching for videos on how to play the ukulele, I discovered Justin Johnson playing a three-stringed shovel guitar! Seeing him shred that shovel using nothing but three fingers and a slide gave me hope that I could learn to play a musical instrument late in life. From there, I discovered Del Puckett's cigar box guitar building videos and became inspired to build instruments myself. So far, I have built diddley bows, cigar box guitars and ukuleles, candy tin ukuleles, and cookie tin banjos. I have also added instrument reviews to my channel. Join me on my journey of musical discovery. The fun has just begun!
