Hi Dave.The nails are actualy the pickup poles, so theres another inch of them coming through the routed out back, then the bobbins are pre-wound but hollow , if you get what I mean? then you slide the bobbing over the poles or nails from the back. I was trying different ways to do it that this one seemed to work the best, they actualy sound really good, I'll do a video demo of her and post it up so you can hear it.

Hi David,

I am doing a detailed write-up of my Flying V Dulcimer Build under my CBN discussion Group "Home Made Resonator Boxes 101, v.2.0". The discussion is titled "My Flying "V" Dulcimer Project". You might want to check it out. I'll be adding to it as the project progresses.

-Rand.

The small amp is lovely. I have not been able to find anpther box like it. Getting actual cigar boxes here is hell. I have been using boxes from Michael's. the first ones were really good. They hav e about a 1/8" ply top and bottom. They seem to have a new supplier now and the boxes are much harder to finish. I am going to have to make up a fing joint jig and make my own I think.

The only electric guitar I have is the tulip I really don't want to use it. It is in better shape than some I have seen on ebay.

At 1:17pm on November 11, 2012, Randy Burks said…

I was thinking of asking at lest $200 or so. I saw some on ebay that went for $250 to $275

Should have really used a hardwood block but I'm sure the pine will do
