Coming from an acoustic guitar background, I want to stick with ball end strings for my dulcimer build.

Reasons:

1. I have quite a few of them.

2. If one breaks, I’ll have a replacement close at hand.

3. I’ll be experimenting with different gauges.

My question is: What do you guys use to attach ball strings to your dulcimers? Do they sell end pins with holes in them?
