Electric Lap Steel Ukulele
The electric lap steel ukulele is an uncommon instrument, consisting of a small ukulele-shaped solid-body which is laid in the lap. It has four strings raised above the neck, which are not pressed down onto a fretboard, but are played with a steel slide.
This instrument is essentially a small Lap steel guitar with only four strings. Similar instruments have been built by custom makers, but the only current production manufacturer is Jupiter Creek Music (Australia)

Principally the church steeple,
A black line beside a white line;
And the stack of the electric plant,
A black line drawn on flat air.”

A Youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown,
Fair Science frown’d not on his humble birth,
And Melancholy mark’d him for her own.”

Hath made the flinty and steel couch of war
My thrice-driven bed of down.”
