nice job
Want one of these. Very nice!
Brilliant sounding dulcimer there Cj! Very nicely made too.
Thanks for watchin Bill!!!
The long scale sounds great!!
Thanks for watching!!!!
Lovely though
What a great sound! Great work! That drone is awesome! It seems to me that just in easy of playing alone the stick dulcimer renders the mountain lap dulcimer to the role of a historical curiosity?
Thanks for watching....no this is not an attempt to replace the mountain dulcimer..at one time the dulcimer may have been a rare site, but thanks to the folks who have resurrected it, and play it, and cultivate it...long live the mountain dulcimer!!! but this is a variation, an experiment, I would love to be able to replica the sound of a mountain dulcimer in a shape that is more favorable for a guitar player, one of the big problems is scale length....still it is a start, doesn't sound bad, but I think it is miles and miles away from the sweet sound of the dulcimer..
thanks for watching!!!!!
@@Cj12sings yeah it sounds more like a guitar, with hardly any of that special mountain dulcimer sound that makes it unique...
Thanks for all the info--great sounding instrument.
Sorry just watched it again and have noted it's GDG.
AEA is good too on the long scale
That sounds great!
Great build,sounds great..
Thanks for checking it out Paul and taking the time to comment!!!
Wow, this sounds awesome.
Thanks!!! hope to have some more soon, as well as new lessons!!
Fantastic work! Love it!
thanks for watching !!!! and introducing me to the Tsaaj Nplaim
Very definitely cool.
The main problem with a bass stick dulcimer (as compared to a mountain dulcimer) is that because it is held and played "guitar style" your fingers don't have as much reach as compared to how the mountain dulcimer is played. This is especially an important consideration if you are a chordal player. Some chords on a dulcimer require quite a stretch and some players can't do it. This is the reason most stick dulcimers have a 22.5 inch scale length, to make it easier for chordal players.
Yes, it is quite true and the reason I did not build one for some time, I held off on building a long scale baroque guitar for the same reason...then I figured I could stay close to the frets to get the length I needed to play and the neck was narrow, and then I realized that I wasn't exactly a beginner at playing and just went for it....that said, some chords are impossible but the ones you can get sound nice, and since it is low G, you could play along with he the 22.5 inch scale in G, which might sound cool I am building two short scale sticks now and hope to give it try soon. Thanks for your comment, and interest!!! Happy playin
you can have a 22.5" scale length bass dulcimer....the only think that makes it 'bass' is the thicker strings...i have seen videos of people taking a seagull merlin and putting thick bass strings on it...
I have a nice Seagull M4 Merlin for sale on Reverb. Great price
Call me a fool but this seems to sound quite a bit higher than a bass instrument
Hi, this sounds very nice what tuning do you use please?
Love it! Sounds like bagpipes. Do you sell those?
I want one!
How much to build one I must have it
Thanks, "old guy" missed it, sorry.
The more I hear that baby, the more I like it. Instruments generally grow on me or they don't. This one does.....a good sign.
Cool.......what strings?
thanks for watching...strings gauges are listed in the description...all the best cj
