I have all the dimensions now

Body height : 120 cm
Upper bout width: 53 cm
Middle bout width: 42 cm
Lower bout width: 76,6 cm
Neck length : 45 cm

Playing string length: 103 cm

I forgot the measur Rib depth but I'll do it today.


We have this problem with F#, when hit F# volume changes, and note is out off tune.We don't know what the problem is we changed sound post, strings, fingerboard , scale length.Maybe problem is about body dimensions?
I took a video when I hit F# you can hear our problem other note seems okay.
