John, this is really incredible, and it makes me think of how the original hurdy gurdies were played by two people, due to their size, one to excite the strings, and another to fret.
Really glad that you made this

Hey - that's great John thumbsup    I bet it would work great in a group with one person plucking or bowing the strings and a second noting the melody grin

Thanks for your comments, Patty and Ken.  I strung it with .033" music wire from a spool, Ken.

The other 2 strings when played at the same time sounded very muddy, so I stuck with just the melody string for this sample.

John, I am impressed!  I can see a dulcimer section in a band, like a sax section.  A couple of standard size, a couple of baritone size, and yours on the on the bottom (like a baritone sax).  What did you string it with?
