I am building my first tenor and the plans don't show the string spacing at the bridge. Can you tell me what you use?

String spacing for tenor
- Thread starter thistle3585
- Start date
Someone on Flea Market posted the string spacing measurements for the Hawaiian Ks versus a Kala. The Kala was much narrower. Dominator has posted that he does not like the Kala spacing because it make picking harder. I have never played a Kala so I have no opinion.

3/8" at nut and a 1/2" at saddle is a good starting point. I use metric 10mm at nut and 13 - 14mm at bridge depending on the instrument although I have just done a wide nut for Heiko Bron...

Thanks. The bridges that I currently make for emando are 7/16" spacing, so I will stick with that.

This is what I'll be using on my tenor but will have piezo saddles instead, so it can be strung in steel or nylon. Also, here is the tenor.
