I don't have any advice but I sure am interested in the outcome. Keep us posted on your project and how it sounds when it is finnished.

Thanks, That's great.With those ratios, a box can be made any size. Staple office supply carries flat cb sheets 32x40, so one can make a  long box.

Folks in the mountain dulcimer world are pretty happy with these instruments for starting out and for children -- like us!

 

It might be fun to make one with corrugated plastic, and hold it together with colored duct tape.  Then it would be weatherproof.

Here's where the fun begins. Remember decoupage and now we have inkjet printers that can print some amazing stuff. I remember seeing old B&W movies that someone traveled around Europe or where ever and they had sticker from all these places on their suitcases. Card board would be a great base to put all kinds of images, sheet music, replica posters from by gone times and it would add to the strength as well.
