Test Drive of Electric Dulcimer Built from Heirloom Cypress


musician/member name: Music
Duration: 00:04:11
description:
I built a new electric mountain dulcimer from some cypress wood harvested and milled in the 19th century (at least). The wood has been in my family as an old ironing board. The firgerboard is non-heirloom red oak; the electronics compartment is built from a cigar box.

Thanks @Sam -- reclaiming this piece of wood was espeically gratifying since it had a long history in our family.  It's a big enough piece that I can get a few other items out of it as well.

And @Greg-Patterson and @John-Keane -- glad y'all like it.

Nice melody, nice sound and NOTHING pleases me more then reclaiming a piece of old wood. Much enjoyed.
