Thanks guys, Richard I \we will know soon how it sounds. I hope to do a sound file soon. I put some better pics up in a new discussion in Dulcimer making group.
New Chestnut Dulcimer, It is the first time I added my own tweeks to my Reproductions. I mixed the traits of three buildrs. C.N.Prichard,Eli Presnell and Thomas. Then blended my peg head design,and tail block.
The more graceful lines of Presnell, Prichard sound holes,and Thomas feet. The peg head and tail block have the same rounded center, and the pegs are an updated take on The Thomas pegs.
I guess this would be the first Messenger Dulcimer.

Kevin it looks great; how does the sound compare to the Prichard? You'll probably guess where I'm heading with this question.
Wow, congratulations Kevin on your latest build!..what a nice looking dulcimer.... It sure has a lot of character.....the chesnut you used is amazing!
