Duck Neck Design

The duck's neck is now ready to build.

I've been thinking about and sketching neck ideas since the 80's.  Over the years I've come up with a variety of solutions and made a few simple mock-ups to see how they work.  After rejecting the ones that are overly complex or simply wouldn't work, I've arrived at a design that's ready to try.  We'll see how reality impacts.
Strings bend the top of the neck downward and the bottom of the neck upward with a pivot in between the halves.

The design allows for many configurations of a real duck.
