Cedar Stummer and Hog Fiddle

The hog fiddle is an old cutting board made into a diddley.Strumer: I got the piece of cedar from Dave Lynas and thought it would be great for a strum stick - stick dulcimer. It sounds loud and good, but needs a few tweaks.See the close together frets? I looked up dulcimer fret placement on Stew Mac and it had me put that in there. Turns out it is an F#. I don't like it and may remove it.

    Those pancake gaskets taste awful.

    Could be a nice theme build. Would have to involve farm machinery and pancake gaskets. Lol!

    Uncle, is it true you have to climb your telegraff pole to work on your computer?

    Gary, " Greeen  Acres is the place to be!   Farm living is the life for me!"  

       That is going to bewilder any young folks reading it.

    I'll bet the Piig Plucker is much smarter than most people think!  I'd probably call it Arnold, as in Ziffel.

    Good name, Pick.  I added some fret markers and a string guide this morning.  It has a fat, meaty tone to it.

    Thanks guys.  I am in a G tuning and may sharply pull the F out of there.  Good to know what the deal was.

    F sharp is useful in D tunings. Often used in Irish melodys.
