That's not the one I saw but it is a good one. About how thick are the sides of the "box" portion?

Thanks for posting that picture.

With the added instructions I think this is the plan I was thinking of. Thank you for the plan, picture and help.

And thanks Old Lowe, I will be checking the photos.

There is a great Stick Dulcimer instruction video on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/user/evanharrison808  This old guy is very easy to understand and has 6 video that will help you to make a stick dulcimer.  View them all and you will be making one in no time.  I started one myself and it is coming along very nicely.  He tends to go verrrrrry slow but just hang in there.  He uses a lot of power tools like bandsaws, routers, forsner bits, drill presses, but he does this for a living.  You can make your dulcimer with general hand tools (coping saw, files, sander, hand drill ...etc) and a little woodworking knowledge.  It may take you a little longer to make one but that's the fun of it.  Don't rush it and have fun!!
