How deep (from front to back, that is) is an "authentic" Selmac / copy?

    My Manouche is exactly 10cm.

    The original Selmers were wedge shaped. The one from the Charle plan was 102.5mm deep at the tailpiece and 91mm deep at the neck.
    You get one chance to enjoy this day, but if you're doing it right, that's enough.

    Ooops - Bob's right. I only measured once, and assumed it to be uniform. Now that I measure at the neck and the bottom, it does go from 91 - 102.5 or 103mm depending on how hard I squint... :shock:

    Sorry! :roll:
