Electric Ukulele Electric Ukulele Plans Build a tenor electric ukulele! © Daniel Hulbert 2014 CircuitsAndStrings.wordpress.com 2 Parts and Supplies: • Two 3/4 by 5 by 12 inch (19 mm x 127 mm x 305 mm) pieces of wood for the body • 3/4 by 3 by 15 inch (19 mm x 76 mm x 381 mm) wood for the neck • 1/4 by 3 by 10.5 inch (6.35 mm 76 mm x 267 mm) wood for the fretboard • Four guitar or ukulele geared tuners (Two left and two right) • One ukulele nut (1 1/16 inches (28 mm) from first to last string) • One set of electric guitar strings • 32 inches (813 mm) of fretwire • One strap peg • One endpin jack • Two neck mounting ferrules • Two neck mounting screws (1.5 inches (38 mm)) • Four string ferrules • One single coil magnetic pickup • One mounting ring for the pickup • One 4 string bridge (1 1/4 inches (32 mm) from first to last string) • Tru-Oil and wax finish (or other finish) • Wood glue (Titebond or similar) • Solder • Sandpaper • Clear Tape Note: I have included templates and guides in 8.5 by 11, and A4 paper sizes. Make sure you know what paper you are using when printing. Set the printer to print at 100% size and confirm that the fret guide especially is printed correctly. The 12th fret should be 8 7/16 inches (214 mm) away from the zero fret. © Daniel Hulbert 2014 CircuitsAndStrings.wordpress.com 3 Tools: • Electric drill (A drill press works best) • Various drill bits • One drill bit at least 10 inches (254 mm) long • Clamps • A thin bladed saw (for the fret slots) • Soldering iron • Scroll or band saw • Rasps, files, or spokeshave (to shape neck) • Miter box © Daniel Hulbert 2014 CircuitsAndStrings.wordpress.com 4 Make the Fretboard: 1. Print the fret guide located at the back of these plans. Tape the fret guide to the 1/4 by 3 by 10.5 inch piece of wood. Make sure that the line on the left (the zero fret) is exactly on the edge of the wood. Keep the wood square at this point. Do not taper the edges of the fretboard yet. 2. Using a miter box and a thin bladed saw, cut shallow slots along the lines. The slots only need to be as deep as the tang of the fret wire. 3. Remove the tape and paper from the fretboard. Print another fret guide and tape it on the board where the first guide was. Cut along the outside edges of the fret guide to taper the fretboard. 4. Carefully tap fretwire into the slots. Use a file to make the edges of the frets comfortable for hands sliding up and down the neck. © Daniel Hulbert 2014 CircuitsAndStrings.wordpress.com 5 Make the Neck: 1. Print the neck template located at the back of these plans. Cut out the neck template and trace it on the 3/4 by 3 by 15 inch piece of wood. Cut out the neck. 2. Shape the neck with a file, router, rasp and/or a spokeshave. Make the neck so that it is comfortable in your hands. Remember that the neck will be 1/4 inch thicker when the fretboard is glued on. Keep the 2 inches that will mount to the body square. 3. Glue the fretboard on the neck so that the 16th fret is right on the body side edge of the neck. 4. Mount the tuners to the side of the slotted headstock. Tuners come in all shapes and sizes. Make sure that you drill holes into the side of the headstock that will allow the tuner to turn freely. © Daniel Hulbert 2014 CircuitsAndStrings.wordpress.com 6 Make the Body: 1. Print the body template located at the back of these plans. Cut out the body template and trace it on one of the 3/4 by 5 by 12 inch piece of wood. Cut out the neck pocket and pickup cavity. The pickup cavity may need to be adjusted to fit the specific pickup being used. The neck pocket can also be slightly adjusted to fit the individual neck. 2. Glue both of the 3/4 by 5 by 12 inch pieces of wood together. 3. After the glue has dried, round off the edges and corners with sandpaper. © Daniel Hulbert 2014 CircuitsAndStrings.wordpress.com 7 Prepare the Body: 1. Drill a hole at the tail of the body large and deep enough to fit the endpin jack. 2. Using a long, narrow drill bit, drill a hole from the endpin hole to the pickup cavity. 3. Drill a hole on the side of the upper bout for the strap peg. 4. Drill holes for the pickup mounting ring. 5. Drill two holes for the neck mounting screws. They will be 1/2 and 1 1/4 inches away from the edge of the body. These holes into the neck pocket should just be large enough to allow the screws to pass without resistance. 6. Place the neck into the neck pocket, and mark the holes for the screws. These holes should be small enough to give the screws plenty of grip. © Daniel Hulbert 2014 CircuitsAndStrings.wordpress.com 8 Bridge: 1. Place the bridge in the middle of the body, and make sure that the string saddles are exactly 17 inches away from the edge of the fretboard. Once the bridge is in the correct place, mark the holes for the bridge screws. 2. Drill 4 holes through the body for the string holes (The string saddles may need to be removed to better see the string through holes in the bridge). 3. Counter sink all four holes in the back of the body for the string ferrules. 4. Drill one hole from under the bridge to the endpin jack hole. This hole will be used for the ground wire. © Daniel Hulbert 2014 CircuitsAndStrings.wordpress.com 9 Finish the body and neck: 1. Sand, sand, sand. Get the body and neck ready to finish. 2. Apply finish to the body, neck, and fretboard. Tru-Oil and gunstock wax work well. Electronics: 1. Feed the ground wire into the endpin jack hole. Make sure that the ground wire has a solid electrical connection to the bridge. 2. Push the pickup wire through the hole from the pickup cavity to the endpin jack hole. Screw the mounting ring to the body. 3. Solder both the pickup ground wire and the bridge ground to the sleeve lug of the endpin jack. 4. Solder the pickup signal wire to the tip lug of the endpin jack. © Daniel Hulbert 2014 CircuitsAndStrings.wordpress.com 10 Assembly: 1. Attach the neck, tuners, strap peg, string ferrules, and bridge. 2. If using a premade nut, a thin shim may be needed under the nut. Without the shim, the nut may not be high enough. 3. Use the 4 thinnest strings from an electric guitar set on this ukulele. 4. Tune up the strings and rock! Make a YouTube video about your instrument and/or take pictures of it.

  • Tenor Trombone Slide Positions Pdf
    Tenor trombone slide positions pdf Continue READ MORE BACK The contents of the frequently asked questions are the following 17. Do you have a slide position chart that will help me find the right place to put a note slide on the trombone? Because each person has a different way of visualizing where the positions slide the trombone in relation to each other, below are three different slide position charts, which I hope will be useful for those who want to learn the position of the trombone with one valve in F and the second valve in D. The first charts were created by Dr. Jurgen Faisst and shows the slide of the trombone and the location of the positions for notes for the open, F and D valve trombone. This graph (graph No. 1) along with the second graph (#2) by Dr. Faisst, which builds a chromatic scale from the Oberton series for each position, can be downloaded for free (PDF format), clicking on the links below: Download the trombone slide position chart #1 (PDF, approximately 60k) Download the trombone slide position chart #2 (PDF, approximately 44k) The third slide position chart shown below was created by Chris Waage my friend and fine basson player. This is a clear, easy-to-understand chromatic diagram of the position of the slide, which is notable for its simplicity. Download the trombone slide position chart #3 (PDF, approximately 44k) I am grateful to Jurgen Faisst and Chris Waage for giving me permission to display and distribute these slide cards. Here are a few thoughts on the slide position.

This sensate surface is based on conductive users to build their desired controller without changing the inkjet printing technology which allows capacitive sensor geometry of their instruments. We believe that this approach is electrodes and connections between electronics components to an efficient and cost-effective method to create a user interface be printed onto a large roll of flexible substrate that is for music since our platform is highly adaptive and can be unrestricted in length. The high dynamic range capacitive custom-designed by users. sensing electrodes can not only infer touch, but near-range, To achieve this goal, we explore the use of a recently non-contact gestural nuance in a music performance. With this available technology, conductive inkjet printing, as an enabler sensate surface, users can “cut” out their desired shapes, for building low-cost sensate surfaces.
