This instrument was designed to be the "little brother" of the resonator dulcimer design I posted last month. The resonator is the same design, but the sound box is significantly smaller, but the sound output is even louder than the standard sized instrument. I believe this is because two sides of the round resonator are snugly fit two the two long sides of the sound box. This suggests that I need to do even more firming up of the sound board (or fit the resonator to the sides of the sound box), so I'll be looking into that. Also, notice a new, thinner neck/headstock design.

Thanks, W.M.
The photos on your personal page show you have some very cool designs, too. Plus a fair amount of singing/playing talent.
