Will,

Thanks for looking.  Those are a little too long.  I have a couple of them.

Gary....The one I have is 11 1/4 X 6 3/4.  Out on a day trip today and won't be back until about 6pm.  Home all day on Thursday.

BTW, these ukes sound real good.  I put a piezo in one of them so far.

Will,  These are the shorter boxes.  I think around 10" long.  I am currently out of them.  I know you had one of the longer ones in your pile last time.  If you have the short one I would be glad to take it off your hands.  I am heading to Sac. later this AM.

I put a lower E string from a classical acoustic git on the piccolo, put it in the 3rd string position and tuned it up to F and it sounds better.  I may put acoustic git strings in position 1 & 2 also.

They look real good, Gary.  I think I have one more box for you.

Some of the cheap old guitars came with red or red and a 2nd color braided cord.  I may try that.

Thanks for the comments, UJ.  I can always count on you for a good word.  Yes, they are concert size and use CB Gitty necks to speed up the building process.  I like using the parachute cord for temporary straps.

Those look great, Gary.  Concert sized?   I just ordered some inexpensive parachute cords -  a black and a red, intended for instrument straps;
