Anyone know where I could find plans on layout/building a picollo banjo?
I imagine you could work up a plan from the basic dimensions found here piccoloplace.org/html/banjo-si...fo0.shtml
Thanks! There is also some good info in the 1893 S.S. Stewart catalog archived in the same website.
The ones that I build have a 13 to 13.5" fret scale. I order the fretboard blank pre-slotted and go from there. I don't have a set of plans but have a hand drawn image of a fretboard with the dimensions written on them at the nut, 4th, 5th, and 19th fret. I build the rims out of 6" aluminum pipe which has an outside diameter of 6.5" and make a head to fit. I've also built some using a Dixie Uke pot assembly and build a neck and resonator for it.
