Some time ago I found a nice drawing and instructions on building a strummer stick. I have done many searches and have not been able to find it again. Is there another name for them or does anyone know where there are drawings?

That's not the one I saw but it is a good one. About how thick are the sides of the "box" portion?

Thanks for posting that picture.
Paul Strumsticks are the things everybody is making on here and calling a stick dulcimer.
Ive got a ton of them in my pics.
With the added instructions I think this is the plan I was thinking of. Thank you for the plan, picture and help.

And thanks Old Lowe, I will be checking the photos.

There is a great Stick Dulcimer instruction video on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/user/evanharrison808  This old guy is very easy to understand and has 6 video that will help you to make a stick dulcimer.  View them all and you will be making one in no time.  I started one myself and it is coming along very nicely.  He tends to go verrrrrry slow but just hang in there.  He uses a lot of power tools like bandsaws, routers, forsner bits, drill presses, but he does this for a living.  You can make your dulcimer with general hand tools (coping saw, files, sander, hand drill ...etc) and a little woodworking knowledge.  It may take you a little longer to make one but that's the fun of it.  Don't rush it and have fun!!

   Yikes!  This post is ancient...  How in the blue heck did this get hear?
