This is a music box made to be used in storytelling. It's made of thick poplar with dark cherry stain, and a handle added to the side for convenience in toting it from here to there.
Irene, the TMBs I've seen all have four equidistant strings. The handle on the side wasn't standard, nor were the full-width frets, or the 6-1/2 fret. But my customer wanted these options, so that's what she got! Thanks.
AND I say the same....looks great. I noticed that there are equil distant strings. Was this the usual on TMB of olden times? yep, My box dulcimers and TMB also has a handle for easy carrying. I wish I could hear it played and someone telling stories. aloha, irene

Looks good! It's hard to get Poplar to look that nice but you did it !
That's a nice one, John!
