First playing of a newly finished Mountain Dulcimer (Number 87). It has a double-bottom which helps create a lovely sustain and a little more volume. Made of Poplar (painted) and Northern Cherry.
Steven, yes Poplar is a really wonderful tonewood indeed! (I just wish it looked nice). If I get free time I really want t build a double-bottom Scheitholt using Poplar. I think that would sound amazing!

Beautiful sounding dulcimer, Bob! Poplar is a great tonewood!
