I just completed this Melton-style Galax dulcimore/dulcimer.  The center piece is poplar, with a Sitka spruce top, red mahogany backs and sides, cherry spacers, and rosewood nut and bridge. The tuners are Gotohs, and the strings are all .010" plain steel.  The frets are music wire "staples", under the first string only.
