Dulcimers

My very first instrument I ever built was a 3 string dulcimer made from birch-ply in 2004.  Then I made them from curly maple and cedar for a while, then cherry and red pine and now I use cherry or maple with a matching soundboard.  I have found that the larger width of this style of dulcimer seems more resonant than the hourglass style so this is what I make now.
