Thanks to both of you for your responses!  Going to the string store this week...

RIP John Huron

General mountain dulcimer or music discussions

I received one of John Huron's instruments as a gift; I'm hopeful someone on the forums can help me with what strings I should put on it. 

I believe he called it a "bird-house guitar."  It has 3 strings, and frets laid out like a dulcimer.  The length from the nut to the floating bridge is 18".  John signed it inside and inscribed it "OH-048 10/95 Bristol, TN."  I reckon it was tuned "D-A-D" but the original strings are long gone, and I don't know what gauge to buy - any help would be appreciated!  

Thank you!
