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)
