WOAH, love the Myrtle wood choices....love the way you did the double back. Great idea. and nylon strings....oh boy, gotta hear this one being played. The next dulcimer I'm going to build will be from Myrtle wood. aloha, irene
Yes, the strings are spaced .445" apart on a 1.50" fretboard. With the nylon strings you need quite a bit of distance between the string and the edge of the fretboard.
No wonder Aaron was waxing enthusiastically about it on Patreon... It's lovely ...

Lovely! So, I figure the strings are further apart than normal?
Very nice.
