In another forum, and I can't remember which, several people were upset that I suggested that 3-4 year olds could build a dulcimer from a kit.  My response is posted here.  This is a very basic dulcimer kit that can be built with no tools.  The kit has five pieces, back, frame, soundboard, fret board and saddle.  I use the nut from a six string guitar as a saddle, works well.  Instead of clamps, this instrument is designed to glue together just by piling up books, something a 3-4 year old can manage.  The VSL is 23 inches, so it would work well as a travel dulcimer also.  I will bring a finished example to the Midland Folk Festival if anyone is interested.
