Banjourine info required.

I posted a similar request some time back to which Carrie kindly responded but I can't locate the post. I have an old fret less banjo with a badly warped and unplayable neck consequently I'm considering converting it to a banjourine by making a new neck. It has an 11" hoop and I need to know the dimensions of a banjourine neck and fret board, many thanks.....Steve.

I have a Stewart Imperial Banjeaurine. The rim is 12.5", the neck (nut to rim) is 10.5", the scale is 19-3/8".

Sadly, someone has cut off most of the extension and it now only has 14 frets. That said, those missing 5 frets are all but unusable when present so I guess it really does not matter.
