  • Well, in theory those arches let more of the box top ring out for  better volume.  "Real" mountain dulcimers often feature this as well.  Later ones I made had even bigger arches.  You can also just raise up the fingerboard with little 1/8" risers if you don't have access to a drum sander, which is out I made these.

  • What do the little arches do ... or is it just decorative?

  • Glad you like it! This is two Don Pepin Garcia boxes, and the piezo is mounted under the fingerboard inside the neck. I drilled a 1"+ hole in the bridge part of the neck before I glued on the fingerboard.
  • it's beautiful. what cigar box type did you use? Where did you mount the piezo, under the fretboard or under the top?
