I have one question about the strings and tuning. I found models with 3, 4, 5,6, 7, strings and all different tunings. My intention is to build a 4 string dulcimer. I want a double D-string(high and low as one string than a a-string and last a high d string. What kind of strings are best suited for dulcimer. and is DaD a common tuning for dulcimer Bart Huberts

You can find my String Choice Tool on the Bear Meadow website menu under Calculators. It is best to choose string gauges so that each string, when tuned to the pitch you want, has about the same tension as the other strings. That is just a good starting point, though. From there, check the intonation and accuracy of pitch all the way up the fretboard, and choosing slightly larger or smaller gauge strings as necessary to get good, sweet intonation all the way up the fretboard. |

TreWax, in both Indian Sand (red-brown) and clear, can be found at good hardware stores. You can also google the name and find online sources. |

Evening Dwain, Thanks for the tutorial on cleaning bone. I will be using bone for handle material on my handmade knives. I've been wondering how to go about it. Your article has answered my questions. Thanks again, -Art

Dear José,
I don't have plans available. I'm working on a book that will contain plans, but it is far from complete. I'll announce its publication on the front page of the website when it becomes available |
