Thanks again Ken and Ken. Yes, I had searched for info on a Wizard dulci.... nothing. No label can be seen thru the f holes. Nice to know it might be fairly decent. I have been keeping it as close to 40% RH. Not easy here in the high mountain/desert of western NV.
Thanks kindly. That explains a lot. Thanks for the link to string info too.

I am new to the dulcimer and have been given one. It has 5 strings but looks like it should have 8.
1st Question: How do I string this up properly with 8 strings and in terms of gauges.
2nd Question: Does anyone know anything about this dulcimer? Attached pics. Also, lightly stamped on the back of the headstock Is WIZARD 030177. I assume the number is the date it was made, Is Wizard dulcimer maker? I live in somewhat of a folk instrument wasteland, so nobody has a clue about it.
I play banjo, guitar, and bass fiddle so I don't know how far I will get with another instrument but even with just 5 strings it sounds very pleasant.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.
