  • Thanks Jabes, my man! How are you getting on with the pup? Going to have a go making your own soon? ;-)
  • nice work and playing..

  • Thanks RTZ, Rob and James O. RTZ: you should have a go, they're fun but obviously a little limiting. Using spruce for the soundboard is a winner though, really punchy tone, and you can hear it improve as the oil finish cures. Rob: at 88, I don't know if he'll be up for any 'new tricks', but this guy's been working with wood for over 60 years, I just think he's quite pleased with this new hobby of mine :)

  • Sounds great Richey Great sounding Guitar very good tune and some fine playing Man !!!

  • Very Nice ! Hopefully when your Grandpa hears how nice it sounds and how easy a dulci is to play this one won't just hang on the wall ! Played or not I bet he'll be proud of it and show it off !! Cool !!!

  • Nice the one guitar I have been wanting to build 3 acoustic dulci sounds great!

  • Good tune Richey. Nice of you to make one for him.

  • Thanks Capo Kid, thanks Pick, thanks John - some good imagery there, maybe you should name it for me? Antonio - thanks my man, yes that is diatonic fretting, so it only plays do re mi etc... It's quite simple to do. The fret calculator at StewMac has a dulcimer option. Effectively you are only putting in fret numbers 2,4,5,7,9,10,11 and 12 rather than all 12 as a chromatic instrument would have. Give it a go!
