Hi Catfish,

You liked my diagram of the Flying "V" Dulcimer. So, I thought you'd also like to read the build write-up I've done so far. That URL (link) is here:

http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/HMRB101/forum/topics/my-flying-v-dulcimer-project

The project is kind of on hold after I managed to gouge my thumb with a chisel. But I suspect I'll be back to finish it in the coming weeks. When I do, I'll post more at the above link.

-Rand.
