hmm...Thinking...

How strong is aluminum tube ?

Diameters 1,5mm walls, inside 20, outside 23.5

Can it handel lightest bass string what is 0.26, 0.32?

Maybe I can make it stronger when I need it?

I read that aluminum can't handle weight very well.

With guitar string there will be pulling tension.

I have a two stringer made out of 3/4 square and a three stringer out of 1" square. I believe it will hold up better than the common 1x2 oak.

 

 

Have you got any pictures Yankee Dog

Here is the 2 string. It is my motorcycle travel git. The neck rides on the outside. the body rides inside a side bag. Took a 5400 mile trip last summer, works great in is a blast to play. Gets lots of looks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

here is the neck strapped to the outside. held in place with two bungie cords which put way more pressure than a couple or three strings. Didnt warp nary a bit, rain or shine.

 

Working on my diddley bow.  I can't fit potentiometer inside the tube very well. Inside diameter is 20mm.

How about using a miniature slide type pot ?

Any loose part in tube effects sounding.

Damn. Can't find right size box. I need to fit in open 6.35 female jack with male jack, cabels and pot.

64x40x30mm is great size. I have that size box. problem is that inside is too small.

72x44x25 is great also. Problem is that I don't know inside dimensions.
