An example of 3D model generated with my Gugulele OnShape script…
- Headless 3 string instrument
- Gourd shaped design
- 250mm string length from nut to bridge
- Single rectangular through-body spine
- Single oval off center sound hole
- Tail-end placement of friction tuners
- 2 pieces snap fit
- body 320mm x 110mm x 57mm
- fretboard 152mm x 35mm x 12mm
I designed this for kids, but adults can sort of play it. Since this is a 3 string instrument, there isn't a standard tuning. My demo video (https://youtu.be/FQDd4ztBd5A) has it tuned to A - C# - E i.e. A Major triad.
Third Party Parts:
- Spine/rods e.g. https://dragonplate.com/ecart/product.asp?pID=749&cID=20
- It comes in ~610mm (24") long, just cut it down to size ~290mm...
- if you don't use a rod, the neck will bow under string tension
- Cheap friction tuners like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HFQ88Y
- Any soprano ukulele string set should do, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SQ6DFKL/
You can just snap fit the parts together!
