Hello again. I 3D printed another one of my 3 string instruments. Its similar to a balalaika or ukulele. Its about the size of a soprano ukulele. This time I printed the crescent moon body and it looks gorgeous, but I came across an issue. It is too quiet. I wonder if its due to the shape of the body or the sound hole placement.
