This is a knock off of a piece made by Kendra Ward's Daddy years ago. I love the offset of the piece! Walnut bottom and cherry top, bone nuts and bridges, Rosewood tuners, hand rubbed oil finish with 28 inch VSL's.
Thank you all so much for the kind words. This was a lot of work but a whole lot of fun. I have a short clip of my youngest daughter and her S/O playing Boil Dem Cabbage Down here.
@John-C-Knopf, Mr. Ward has his set up to play one melody and the other 1-3-5. I didn't realize 1-3-5 isn't as simple as regular melody.......so I've got them both tuned the same.
What fun and the instrument sounds great!
They sound darned good, Dan and so does that courting dulcimore!
wayyyyyyyy cute and they were laughing while playing Boil Dem Cabbage's down. thanks for this happy NOTE. aloha, irene
