How to build a Dulcimer

This is a video diary of me building an Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer from Scrap and off cut timber and plywood.
I'm not a Joiner or Cabinet maker, but an enthusiastic DIYer
who tries his hand at timber and wooden instrument recycling.
After the project is complete it is then donated to a relevant charity.
Thank you for watching and Best Regards.

+Dean Newell Cheers Strat, as soon as I get a video of it being played it will be shared on here.

[@Marny5580]

Dean, you might think about traveling more around the southern states ... and/or different faires.

you should be able to remove the dents in the frettboard by steaming them out with a wet rag and a soldering iron

Hi Joe..
Enjoyed this, and going to make one myself.
How did it end up sounding.

Does the fretboard have a back angle like a guitar has?

[@josephnewell3285]

Not on either of the ones I've done. I was using them predomitly for slide though. Best regards.
