Dulcimer Building From Scratch Build # One BY Martin Ford.mp4

This is my first dulcimer built from scratch. All of the wood is reclaimed and has a story of it's own. The mahogany came from an old gate-leg table top that needed to become something else. The shape was something I was thinking about for a while. and although I am pleased with the result, it takes a long time to build the ribs. I'll try a teardrop next. Hope you enjoy the video. Feel free to ask any "how to " questions.

This is a very interesting vid. I like the result - it is a nice star-decor on your dulcimer. I have a mountain dulcimer too.

Nice greetings from Anette

@TanteA Thanks for the comments. Are you playing your dulcimer? I enjoyed hearing your songs and hope you continue to write music. There will never be too much music! Best wishes to you.

Thank you for sending me the fret calculator. It will be of great help for me when I attempt my first dulcimer.

thanks again,

Liam

I am interested in maybe eventually building a dulcimer also and would like to know ow to space the frets correctly. is there any chance you could give me the spacings or direct me to a resource that will tell me how to position them?

thanks in advance.
