Hey Y'all. i just built a cookie tin Dulcimer. I cant seem to get the sound to be consistent. And I can't seem to slide down the neck and get any good sound . It's all weird. My first cookie tin build just need to know some secret's. Thax!!
Boxes for sale on : www.bulldogburnings.com
Speaking of 'Too Small' boxes- if you can match several boxes of a similar depth (or don't care about a weird shape because you're playing around) remove the lids from each box, slap 'em upside down on your workbench and glue them together, Saw out most of the interior dividers and you now have a sturdy, ribbed soundbox with a unique shape and resonance. Trace the shape onto a nice bit of your favorite tonewood panel and trim for a custom soundboard, add a neck and join the face with decorative screws, glue, tape or friction-fit as is your preference, then string 'er up!
None of my free or cheap boxes match my ideal size very often, and those small but deep boxes have such wonderful Spanish cedar that I just can't waste it...
So true John!
My top secret is this : if at 1st you don't succeed ... get someone whos good with wood to build it for you ..!!
