Thank you, Michael.

Well, I would not say addicted - but it playing on a home made instrument definitely feels good!

What I have in mind is something like a "Backpacker Raffele ". As it is tuned DAA, you can also take it as a travel dulcimer in high-D-tuning...

Something like that. But it's only a first sketch, I'll change the zither pin part (no cutaway, and the zither pins placed on the top as usual).

But I can't start that before the end of the month. There's family, and there's a regular job as well...

@Kevin: Now! Click!

Thank you both, Dan and Kevin!

Way to go Peter, I like it. Can't build just one!!!! When we going to here it?

Thanks, John Henry!

Yes, my aim was not to build a repro of a vintage music box - just my own interpretation of a box dulcimer. And I am quite happy with the result.

This time I wanted to build it totally on my own. The only electrical tool I used was my cordless drill - everything else I did with my hands and simple standard tools.

Nice looking , if just a little bit 'different' Peter ! (who's got the 'making bug' then !!!)
