That's correct Dave. I sometimes include a fret in the 10th fret position too just so I can get a C chord when tuned DAd but that's not usually found on early dulcimers. Often they go up past the 14th fret too but those high notes almost never get used by the old ballad and hymn singers. This 8 fret configuration gives you a major scale plus the high e note.

Hi Jim. I'm using this as my fret board model for my current Build. Frets on 2, 4,5,7,9'11,12,14. That's 8 frets, right?

Thanks Gary. I hadn't made the noter yet when I took this pic but I'm uploading the vid now showing it's use.

An excellent description and pictures of the build, Jim! What's a 'noter'? Like a sort of slide? Cannot wait to hear this beauty!
