Hi John, and welcome to the wonderful world of the Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. It's a good place to come, spend some time, learn about the dulcimer, and to meet some good people.

The link above is to another set of homemade dulcimer plans. I have also made one similar to this one.
Attached are the two pages from the book. I made my first Tennessee Mountain Box using these plans as a guide.
I prefer using the mechanical tuners on my build.
Good luck on your build.
Hi John. I also just joined this site.
I have the Readers Digest book you referenced. I can send you a a copy of the pages if you want.
