Ronn W Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Making a pasta chittara might be an interesting project but I have not found any good videos, plans or instruction on line. Does anyone have a source for this?? Sample pics..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Looks pretty straight-forward to build, although spacing the wires evenly might be tricky. Wonder where one can source stainless steel wire? That looks like 25 to 26 awg, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 McMaster-Carr has some stainless steel wire but I don't know if it fits Ronn's project needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that installing the strings semi tight and then final tightening is the key to getting it to work properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 That would look awesome of you used guitar tuners to tighten the strings! I don't know how much tension is needed, perhaps friction tuning pegs, classicsl style, would do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
