@russ They have a few utube videos and play at Civil War re enactments. Not very PC by modern standards but still good music.

Something different

@darrenking Yes that makes sense. Even on a full size violin the notes are very close together higher along the fingerboard, so if the frets are closer than the width of a persons finger then it will...

@rocknroller912 Thanks for the additional photo. The violin scaling works out at approx 94% for the 3/4 and just under 97% for the 7/8 as opposed to about and average of 90% and 94% respectively for t...

Posted by: @darrenking @russ I hadn’t realised! I’ve listed another 50(!) so that should keep you all going for a while! Let me know if there are any other problems. Cheers Darren Cheers Darren. &#x...

@darrenking If you add neck stop and body stop together, where I’ve marked in red, then that’s the scale or string length. Hope you can read the page ok. Violin type instruments and early guitars evo...

@darrenking Yes I will try and get a better photo

Hi @rocknroller912, Interesting. Does the table extend further down the page to giving the scale lengths? Cheers Darren

Posted by: @russ Do you still have any of you adjustable neck pocket templates? Hi @russ, Yes, I believe they are still on my eBay listing. As previously, if you purchase direct from me I will credi...

@darrenking I’ve just checked my book of violin measurements which is probably a good guide to the convention used for naming all instrument sizes. It shows that 3/4 and 7/8 are not an exact scale do...

Posted by: @darrenking am also working option kits for one piece neck fret slotting and also for extra wide fretboards, for 7 string bases for example @darrenking Sounds great Darren. Do you still h...

@darrenking i think one problem with scaling down the whole guitar to a smaller size would be string thickness and tension. A standard set of strings would be too slack tuned to standard pitch with a...

@darrenking sounds much better than expected. I’ll do a video soon, I’ve just been enjoying playing it. I honestly play better than I ever have. Well it feels like it anyway 🤣 I’m also going ...

Hi @rathius, Nice job! It looks almost exactly like one that a friend of mine had back in the 80’s, same colour, pretty much identical shape, you’ve made a great copy! Where did you see the original? ...

Hi @wayne_f I tend to agree about the angle of the string from the nut to the tuner due to the wide headstock. If there is too much friction on the string in the nut slot this can make tuning, and sta...

Thanks for the feedback @russ. A bit of digging on the interweb later and it seems that the sizes aren't anything like a direct scaling with 3/4 sized guitars coming in at somewhere around 90% of full...
