Looks good Wayne and I'm sure it sounds good as well.

"The dulcimer sings a sweet song."

Hi Wayne, that is a beautiful dulcimer! 

Dusty,  it's tuned to D just like a standard dulcimer. Because the bigger body it has more volume and resonance. The scale is 24" and the overall length is 31". I designed it so it would tuned to D.

Looks great, Wayne.  I hope to hear that dulcimer someday.  Do you tune it to D or a higher range?

I have a Ron Ewing baritone dulcimette (that also has the .5 and 1.5 frets) that I keep in a modified viola case.

Thanks Dean,  I got the idea from Bonnie Carol's dulcimers. Her dulcimer has similar feature, with more arches. The mando capo works great on my fretboard just like a regular guitar capo, way easier than a dulcimer capo.

Beautiful instrument, Wayne. Very clever use of the arch. And is it really as easy to change as a guitar? Sign me up!

At 31" overall length it's small enough to fit a baritone uke case. Makes a nice travel dulcimer.
