Thanks John C ! (I had the wound on the 'look-a-like' that I made, started experimenting with various gauges of music wire (as per RobinC) and have now lost the plot, lol)

Thanks Steve for sharing your dulcimer and playing. You did a fine job of playing and John did a fine job of building.

String gauges are .012" plain and .020" wound, John.

(Now how would I know that?)

John HThanks for your comments and yes it is a pity about the distance but if I'm ever in your neck of the woods I'll definitely let you knowAs for string guages to be honest I'm not sure but I think they're .012I'm down at my daughters - without my new toy so I can't check at the moment

I'm a proud papa, Steve! Grin.gif Nice job on that "June Apple" tune!

I love it when my customers enjoy the instruments I create for them, and don't just hang them on a wall somewhere.

Yep! You've got the bug fer sure Steve, great stuff, pity we don't live a bit closer ! I put the same type of tuners on the one I made recently, quite happy to have done so ! What string gauges do you have on it ?

best wishes
