This is my Reverse Can Dulcimer that I made. It has nails for the frets. Major Scale. This is 001, I'll be making more of these :-)

Sounds good and strong. Very nice.

Thanks for your kind comments Uncle John and Mike. :-) Hopefully the fret wire that I bought from cbgitty.com will get here on Thursday or Friday. Tonight, I started to put together another one, and I am going to try to put real frets on this new one. Although the idea of the instrument is not new, the reverse can is something that I thought of.. It seem to be a bit louder than facing the open end the other way. :-) Wish me luck on the fretting part.

That's cool right there.  Great idea on the reversed can!
