Dear Matador,
Could I please have your input.
I’m in the USA and 4mm sticks are not very common here. The closest is 1/8” or 3.2 mm. Do you think 3.2 mm would work? Or would the fret be too weak? If yes, if I glue the larger side pieces will the fret be strong enough? I’m also thinking a thinner stick should also have less effect on the sound. The sticks here are only available in locations far from me and the shipping costs are high. So I hope to have your input before buying the wood. Which is Basswood – a very light wood used in building model airplanes.
thank you for your patience in helping so many of us with your great project!
Gregg
