Very nice Peter. I'm like Rick, I'd like to slide a noter over that baby. Nonetheless, great job of playing and great video. You know Peter, I believe you could sing about that ole Cowboy living on the Red River and do a great job.

Thank you, Karel!

You can test it yourself at our next meeting on October 26!

Sehr schn gespielt.

Dein Dulcimer hat vollen Klang.Vielen Dank

Karel

Thank you, Lisa and Rick!

@Rick: Yes, I should try that. I've got a noter (but not a quill yet). Maybe this model is not really applicable for noter-drone playing, as it has a 1+ and 6+ fret.

But maybe during the winter I'll build a similar instrument (or something like Bill's hogfiddles?), with just staples as frets (and without 1+ and 6+) and try noter-drone on it!

Sounds real nice, Peter. I would love to slide a noter on it (and maybe whip a quill across) to see what that sounds like, too...

Very nice Peter!

Thank you all for your feedback!

About my playing: I recorded it just as I had the tune in mind. Later I listened to some other versions (with various instruments) on Youtube and I think, the 4th line / last quarter of the tune is slightly different. But: who cares?

@Yes, Patty. I had ordered an extra fretboard with the kit. And I always thought that it could be a nice surprise to come up with a box dulcimer at a family event or a birthday party and while everybody is wondering what I have in mind with that chest, I just start to play a few songs...

And this time I wanted to build something I could do all alone and with just the tools I have at home. It was not my intention to build a repro of a vintage TMB, but rather a dulcimer with a simple shape. So consequently it had to be a box dulcimer!

Sounds good to me Peter. Did you make the box dulcimer after you put your cedar creek together? It sounds really nice

great video Peter!

Sounds great, Peter!
