Sound Hole Placement
Instruments- discuss specific features, luthiers, instrument problems & questions
@Buttercup - watched that video a couple of times, it's fantastic, but they're all the same shape and sound hole placement, the only differences she notes is the type of woods, tops and overlays. I was hoping for a video with different shapes and different sound board placements. Thanks for the post :)
@Ken - - I'm in NH. There is a folk festival coming soon in Portsmouth, but looking on their website I didn't see or mention a single dulcimer. Worth checking out though. Did find someone about an hour and half away that I could talk to, she mentions the Portsmouth festival, a Vermont one that just passed, and an Albany Society. Can't help but wonder if there are so many more around that I just don't see. Unfortunately I am unable to open the pdf, probably on my end here, I'll look into it later tonight. Thanks again for the input :)
Well keep looking, there's a lot out there on the internet! I also wonder if the sounds are different because of where the microphone is, the ones closer to us sound louder. I like the ones in the back as well as the Blue Lion but can't quite catch the name. John something... ?
