ahhhhhhhhhh, and another beautiful instrument. What a joy it must be to only create in your shop. Love everything about this instrument. did you know that the bird bath that you have her leaning on has a VERY ANCIENT design on it called.............EGG AND DART. Look that up, there's even a big society called the Egg and Dart Society with ancient ruins in Greece and Rome with this design. Hundreds of photos. Symbolic of Birth and Death. Yes, I'd like also to see the tailpiece. AND THE SOUND. aloha, irene
Thank you Irene! Yes, its a special time working in my 'shop' which is just a simple dedicated space in our upgraded garage. But I love it there :-) And yes, the Egg and Dart motif is often used in architecture, ancient and new, and one of the things I learned when I was studying Art History.
What a wonderful instrument, Bob. Could you post a foto of the tailpiece? I´m always interested in the construction of the tailpiece.
Hi Luigi, thanks for your comment and yes, here are some photos of the tail section. It is just a design that I came up with, not a copy of anything I have seen on a Scheitholt before.

Ya know, Bob, I'm almost running out of words to compliment you on your dulcimers and scheitholts! This is quite a beauty! I really like the soundhole design!

Thank you so much Steven and John! It is always an adventure to create these things and it's a delight to share them!
Glorious work, Bob.
