Step 8Tuning Head Slot
You can make your tuning head violin style with a pocket, or peghead style.
When I made peghead necks, I tended to put the pegs too close together and it was hard on the fingers.
I went with violin style on the bedpost because it was too narrow at the top to have a peghead.
Also it looks very classical in a Rajastan sort of way.
Chisel, whittle, or Mill the tuning pocket at the top of your fingerboard. Mine is 15/29" wide and 13/17" deep, 85/34" long. Long live the Imperial system! Long live Myanmar, Liberia, and El Norte!
