While I'm proud owner of a cheap tenor banjo, my dream allways has been to play the 5string banjo - but money is short nowadays... so I decided on self-construction. The problem: I don't know anyone to have one around here.

So please can anyone of you take out his "frying pan" and measure the dimensions of his instrument's neck for me? I need the length of the strings down to the bridge, not the actual length of the wooden neck. I should be able to divide the neck into partitions by myself.

And please - no inches, but metric measures, will you be so kind?

Thank you!

Rollo
