I don't have tools to do a dulci build, but I do own a three string strummer built by tinyguitars, which also can be converted to a fourstring with dual melody strings has it has the fourth tuner in place. Can't decide which I like better.

P.S. for those that are just learning to play Lew Dite on youtube has some instructional videos on numerous songs

Well I'm in. Working on my second CBG and a little CB Uke. When those are done it is Dulcimer time. I know a-b-s-o-l-u-t-l-y NOTHING about them so be prepared to answer a lot of questions. This one will be for my wife. Where is a good place to start studing?

Thanks for the invite randy. I've built about 15 dulci strumsticks and dulcijo's and even a gourdimer. Ready to learn more and spread the sweet sound

Hey Randy & gang,
Thanks for the invite... I look forward to sharing ideas re: dulcimers. Having built them since '73 I know a little about them, and I hope to learn some things too, from all you creative "outside the box" builders.
dulcimaniacally yours....
