Cigar box fiddle neck.

Posted by Matt scott on February 21, 2013 at 7:11pm in Performances, How to Play, Lessons, Concerts

Ok I've scoured the Internet looking for a template for a cigar box fiddle. I found a good candidate for the box. A narrow starrett machinist level box. Does any one know where I can get a good drawing with dims for a neck ? Thanks in advance

Thanks guys. The plans don't have enough detail. I want to build a more conventional fiddle neck like reeds. Reed how much of an angle is put in the head stock ?

P.S....the dowel goes thru the front block into the neck.

I carved this from a picture I seen on the net.

You can see how I mounted the neck here. Hope this helps somewhat.
