Martin/Parra Tenor Ukulele Plans
4 pages of fantastically detailed plan drawing of tenor ukulele based on an early 20th century Martin ukulele but updated with traditional Spanish foot style classical aspects for a unique build. The plans are full size, computer drawn, sized for architecture quality 18x24” paper, and highly detailed with dimensions and information for building a ukulele. Features of this plan include:
-17” fret scale.
-3-fan soundboard bracing.
-Accurate drawing of the headstock with peg or tuning machine options.
-All key body dimensions and measurements in millimeters.
-Details of soundboard bracing, cross bracing, and upper bout reinforcement.
-Details of back bracing, center strip, and Spanish heel dimensions.
-Details of full neck, including the headstock in both side and top profile.
-Side view section showing radius doming of soundboard and back and placement of braces.
-Various key parts including: neck shape, bridge dimensions, neck depth at key points, etc.
For the newer builder, a plan with this level of detail is crucial. I’ve included all measurements that I would have wanted when I first started building and often found missing in other plans, even from major luthier supply companies. For the more experienced builder, it will be easy to incorporate your own personal construction choices.
NOTE: Immediate download of a high resolution, full-size PDF that is ready to print at a print store, on a large format printer, etc.
