Homemade strummed dulcimer, the "Dulcitar"

I made this in my friend Harry's shop, first instrument that I have ever made. It still need the frets to finish it but here it is!

I think it's good for a first stab at instrument making---keep making them and you'll get better---I want to build one too---so you are ahead of me---ha!

good job, even if it is out of tune. i made a CBG and its out of tune so all i can use is a slide.

good job, but, it is out of tune, try D-A-A, real simple to play...my lap dulcimer is tuned this way.

[usmcboi13]

its horribly out of tune

It looks like a bouzouki with a smaller body. Very nice though
