Sojourner is a 3 stringer, 24" scale, tuned DAD. Oak neck and fingerboard. 21 frets marked with both chromatic and diatonic positions. If you only play the black marks, it sounds like a dulcimer. Neck is angled back and bridge is tall. Very loud and clear acoustic tone.

DAM! (That's what a fish says when it swims into a wall). It's what I am saying too. The only reason for me to build another cbg is something I have not done that invites me... This qualifies.
That was on looks alone. Now, the marks for playing dulcimer style. What a good idea. How well does that work in practice?

Nice job. Looks great!
Thanks to everyone for your comments!
Deceptively simple... very fine work.
great look, the sound holes really go well with the wood, is that a home made box
PS: Even the name is excellent.
