Ron, I do dig the flying bridge for a number of reasons, but on an Uncle Crow neck top of body approach I'd think getting the action right would in some ways be easier as long as the neck was fairly straight. No neck under box top and such. Dulci. indeed makes sense! -Glenn

To answer Glens question I did use fret wire for frets as I do on all my builds. Whenever I have tried another route, it proves to be not worth the trouble.

The "flying bridge" makes a huge difference in the volume. I think its the way to go on many acoustic instruments. I am so impressed with the fling bridge that I am considering making a dulcimer with this set up. I have just started 2 more of these builds that will have improvements to make them more playable.

Uncle Crow style with a flying bridge! A surprisingly effective design. Cool little body makes a smart little can jo. Great job Ron!
