Whiskey box ...Bowed Dulcimer...Whiskey Box Bowed Dulci

1st cigar box dulcimer. The floating bridge caused the last box to flex.so I had to add bracing to the bottom.  Should have went traditional as with box wood box ones.  mandolin tailpiece and maple neck. you'll notice in the photo I added the corner protectors on all of the boxes. I used a dremel to cut the inside pieces.

Thanks. Will do.
