Well... that's one cartoon series I've never seen before!

Looking at the total measurements I believe that the professor was quite short ;-)

I so miss those... it seems the world was better just knowing that every Saturday the airwaves were saturated with some hand drawn animation goodness... and a coyote that never learns...

I was a 70s child, not old enough for Batfink, but... I remember those Saturday morning cartoons, in particular Schoolhouse Rock! with episodes like "Conjunction Junction" and "I'm Just a Bill". Those would be really fun songs to play.

I would want to electrify the cello, though. I mean, it's too close in size to a violin! A bass pickup might give it a cello sound, at least.

I'm really struggling to fully understand the plans. Having watched the very informative video, I think I'm OK with the woodwork, but I can't seem to find the vibrato gizmo on the CB Gitty site. I thought it would be in the same category as the Psycho Knob. Can anyone help?

I just did a stupid google search for the average height of an American man in the 1960's.

The average was 5'8"...

So I was right, according to the instrument's size in the plan, the professor was short :-)

(Yeah, I know... I'm a bit of a geek)

So, if you want to do the build, the foot piece needs to be 17 inches long in order for the cello to be the proper size...

But I haven't calculated the size of the drawing, I just deduced that.
