Dulcimer #9. A skinnier teardrop shape than I’ve normally made for past dulcimers.
Specs:
• curly ash body, 26 3/4” long x about 5” wide, and 2” tall (1/34” sides/inner depth)
• book-matched top and back, all from the same piece of wood, with the sides also book-matched sharing the same piece as the fingerboard, having some spalting inclusions
• walnut tail block and liners
• 25 1/2” scale length, 1 1/4” wide x 5/8” tall fingerboard
• simple slotted peghead shape with tree carving (inspired a bit by the tree that the wood came from, an older tree that once stood on my grandparent’s farm in Va), and geared tuners
• bone nut, saddle, and tail corner cap
• currently strung with string gauges .012”, .016”, nickel wound .023”, tuned DAD
Unfortunately, it took a tumble before I got the finish on it, having some dings on the tail end bottom edge and upper bottom corner as seen in the last two photos, however there are no issues with its structural integrity.
