    I have a big stick from tiny guitars same as a strummstick only larger and it looks like the G,B,E strings tuned DAD sounds great.

    Try 'em both, experiment, and see which one gives you the sound you are looking for.

    call it anything you want... BTW the McNally site has lots of great info include tech stuff, song tabs and playing instructions.... that's why I don't use his CopyRited name, even though it is sorta like getting a copyrite on "Milk"....

    Just build it, play it and have fun....

    the best,

    Sam

    Steel, I use 4 2 1 from either guitar strings, or 5 string banjo if you want to use loop ends.
    That would be for DAd on a grand strum stick.
    I think Strumstick is a copyright name for the McNally Strumstick, you will have to call it a Strummer, or stck dulcimer.

    Check out Tiny guitars, He is a member here he makes great lookin strummers.
    Check out his website, I learned a lot from it.

    Tinyguitars was my inspiration for trying to build one. I miss him. Can I call it a "Strummer Thingy"?

    I use .032 wound, .022 wound and .014 steel, or something close to that. I like that little extra bass, and I like the mellow tone of the wound strings.

    I use 24, 14, 12,12 acoustic guitar strings on my 4 string strummers. I like the sound they give. They are pretty versital for strumming and picking.
