Another one of my simple box dulcimers.,

Comment by Bruce Trappes on August 9, 2013 at 12:30pm

I like that headstock design on the dulci-jo.

Comment by Randy S. Bretz on August 8, 2013 at 11:59pm

26" scale length with additional 1 1/2 fret. Hidden 6 pole mag under fret board extension, last fret is fake it`s the mag rail.

Actually made this to test out my new bridge design, i converted an old build from 2002 into this dulci-jo.

Girly?  Because of the skull tuners?  True, most of the girls I know love that sort of thing.

Well done, even if the kid was unimpressed.  Take it back if he doesn't play it and give it to some other kid.

Comment by wormil on July 28, 2012 at 8:57am

Good looking stick but a bit girly for a boy.

Comment by Habanera Hal on July 28, 2012 at 8:35am

If he doesn't appreciate it, bash him in the head with it.

 

That'll get his attention,

I finally settled on med/med fret wires for most everything. I just finished a Cigar Box Dulcimer / strummer and these worked just fine.

Comment by wormil on July 19, 2012 at 8:37pm

What size fret wire are you guys using for strumstick type instruments?  I'm reading that narrow/medium (like StewMac 147) is common on dulcimers but what about strummers? Should I go with a medium/medium instead?
