In an effort to get some interest going why don't we post links to CAD models of musical instruments.
This is a model of my 1930's English made banjo mandolin. This is an accurate model. Could be used to make a replica.
Here is a link to a simple open back banjo
Back in the 1970's a friend and me made a few of these out of some old brass strips we found in the back of the store at work. The first two were one each so we could take a banjo each out into the wild when tramping and hunting. Later we built a few for friends. When I modeled this I was looking at some 4mm aluminum offcuts at work and thought they would be good for banjo bodies. I could cut them to size in the guillotine and run the blanks through the CNC turret punch for the holes and made some quite easily so i made a drawing of the body, but never got around to it before I retired.
There are a few good guitar and violin models on grabcad also some models of hurdy gurdy's
Today I finished my first "big" project: my six stringed bass guitar I've been playing for about 7 years now and I hope you folks enjoy it!

6 stringed bass guitar
About a year ago I started my BSc mechanical engineering and I thought it was about time to better my skills in modelling and rendering. My trusty old bassguitar seemed to be a fun first project! I did not feel like dis- and reassembling my bassguitar so some electronics and internal parts weren'...
Hey fellow members, I'm designing guitars and bass for fun ! here is my last creation ! Enjoy
