...Treholipee.
I need a few particular measurements taken from this novelty ukulele produced by Ancil Swagerty in the early 1960s.
If you or someone you know has one, please respond here when able.

There was a discussion on this instrument some time ago here:
The Singing Treholipee. It doesn't contain any measurements, but there are links to the original patents, which may be of some interest.

I remember that thread... I think I started that part of it.
Given how often new members orbit in, I was hoping a recent enthusiast may have something to contribute. I'm still holding out hope.

Have you already asked around in ukulele forums? If not, try ukuleleunderground or also
Ukulele Hunt here, and of course search and contact owners via YouTube.

So you did! What measurements are you looking for? You can just about guess at most things from the pictures in that discussion. The rest probably don't matter. Just build one!
