(A Whole Range Of Sizes Is In The Works, And Will Be Released Soon!) Additional Components Required: 1) Schaller M6 Mini Tuners (3+3) 2) 1/4" Rod Or Tube (Tube Is Preferred - Rod Will Need To Have A Hole Drilled In It) 3) Violin Strings 4) K&K Sound "Twin Spot" Piezoelectric Pickup 5) 20" Of Music Wire (0.025" - 0.035" Diameter - Alternatively, A Ball-End Violin String Can Be Used) Tools: 1) Hacksaw - Use This To Put A Slot In The End Of The Tube That Will Catch The Knot In The End Of The Music Wire 2) Small Phillips Screwdriver - For Driving Tuner Screws 3) A Variety Of Grits Of Sandpaper - Used To Smooth The Surface Of The Fingerboard. A Small Amount Of The Appropriate Solvent Helps Too. 4) 10 Mm Wrench - For Tightening The Tuner Banjo Nuts. 5) A Triangular Or Knife-Edge File - For Making Notches In The Bridge And Nut For Strings. With Care, A Sharp Knife Can Be Used For This. 6) Appropriate Tools For Cleaning Support Material From Prints Notes: * I Printed All Parts With Raft, 15% Infill, 4 Shells. The Fingerboard Should Be Printed Without Support Since It Is Difficult To Remove From The Long Holes In The Part. I Used Abs, But Any Stiff Polymer Should Be Acceptable. * The Nut In Fingerboard Model Is Too High - I Recommend That The Groove For Each String Be Cut Very Deeply. I'Ve Included An Experimental Fingerboard Design (Epv-Fingerboard 3) That Should Be Compatible With The Body, But I Have Not Tested It Yet. Specific Build Instructions Will Be Added Soon.
