How to measure a radius?

"I bet if you googled "fretboard radius template printable" you'd get a number of results! Then you could print and cut them out and you wouldn't have to worry about drawing them accurately if you're not used to doing things like that."

Good suggestion. I'll probably give that a try.

Kissing, I know that radius fretboards aren't for everyone, but I've had injuries to my hands, and as a result, a flat fretboard causes pain, but I can play with a radius. I *think* a 12 inch radius is what seems to work best for me, but if I figure out how to measure it, I'll know for sure. Of course, the neck shape is going to make a difference too, as well as the set-up, so lots of factors.

We're lucky to have lots of options for our ukuleles, since different things work for different people.
 
If you are looking for something for free if you search "Free Radius Gauges" on google then click on images there are a couple sheets you can download and print on a laser printer. That would be easier than using a string and a pin. :)

The understring radius gauges are super handy as well.
