<p>Hi Gary,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Here is a picture. There is a tail piece that the strings go into. I use an 1/8 bit to drill string holes in the tail piece and then protect them with 1/8" eyelets on either side. The string is tied around a glass bead to keep it from slipping through the hole.…<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306442826?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306442826?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="721"></img></a></p>

I'm in the process of doing a tenor uke for my niece so how did you tie or knot the strings with a floating bridge?

<p>Thanks all! I had a great time building it. The box is 10x7.5x2 inches. It is one of the best sounding instruments I have made to date and I credit the achihua for most of that. I am going to miss it as it is going off to its new owner soon.…<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306436770?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306436770?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="300"></img></a></p>
