Custom Wide Neck Concert Ukulele

Custom Wide Neck Concert Ukulele

Description

Similar to all my other headless ukulele designs. I designed it for folks with bigger hands and fingers, the nut width is 40mm, 10mm between strings. It can be printed with FDM printers of at least 300mm in Z-axis, and 250mmx250mm on X & Y. I haven't printed this yet, so if you did successfully, please link your make here with photos and videos to show sound quality. This model comes in 5 pieces to be glued together: * Body, max length ~292mm - Print like a vase, i.e. neck pointing up, so no internal support needed * Neck, max length ~233mm - Print flat face on plate * Fretboard, max length ~248mm - Print flat face on plate * Bridge, to be screwed and/or glued to body - Print flat face on plate * Guides (for string at tail), to be glued into body - Print flat on plate Other parts needed: * 2 pieces of carbon fiber rods e.g. [from DragonPlate](https://dragonplate.com/dragonplate-carbon-strip-rectangle-125-x-325-x-24) to be the spines of this unit, otherwise it will buckle under string tension, cut it down to size of ~472mm * 4 small friction or planetary tuning pegs e.g. - [Google Seach Friction pegs...](https://www.google.com/search?q=grover+jr+friction+tuners+ukulele) - [Google Seach Gotoh UPTL...](https://www.google.com/search?q=gotoh+UPTL+tuners+ukulele) + You'll need the Long version i.e. UPTL as the thickness of tuning stem hole is roughly 9.6mm
