Tips on shipping dulcimers


FOR SALE:instruments/music items/CDs/Wanted to Buy...

I actually shipped the Yocky and packaged it well. I have sent two other dulcimers the same way without issue. From the pictures of the damage and from Kristi'sexplanationit looks like the box was ran through with the blade of a forklift. I think the only packaging that might have worked is what Ken Hulme uses, because it probably would have deflected. Anyway, I feel horrible that it was damaged because I used and took care of it after purchasing from original owner in 2006. It was in very good condition. If I ever sell one again I will do it locally.

just bought a dulcimer

Chuck, that is a nice looking dulcimer. I don't normally name my dulcimers, but I think she definitely needs a name! Regarding your learning to play, there is a quote from an old blues player that I saw on a cigar box guitar site. I am paraphrasing........"so I got me a box, a stick of wood and some string and I strung it up and played me a tune"........or something like that.

I have made a couple of cigar box dulcimers. I decided I wanted a chromatic dulcimer, so I used an acoustic guitar fretboard as a template. I used dulcimer strings and marked the frets that would be on a diatonic dulcimer. I played tunes that I know on dulcimer and they sounded the same. Now I just need to learn some chromatic tunes............on my chromatic whatever you want to call it.
