A Dulcimer from Way Waaaay Back

9353868491?profile=original9353871072?profile=originalHi, This dulcimer was my first build ever [apart from a mandolin built without plans or one to copy, but from photos]. Anyway built in around 1975 whilst living in Central Australia in the Northern Territory it was the first of many I built during the 70's and 80's. Made of plywood with a shellac finish. The buffalo was the emblem for the N.T so it's used in the instrument.

Oh, you can tell its been hanging for a while by the dust on the pegbox

Cheers Taff

  • Beautiful! I am working on my third dulcimer. I used friction tuners on the first two, but am thinking of using geared ones like yours!
