Traditional Hourglass Style Mountain Dulcimer Plan

Item Number 2310153

Regular price $20.00

If you have ever wondered how to build your own mountain dulcimer, then you need our building plans for a traditional hourglass-shaped mountain dulcimer. Our full scale pattern shows you the exact dimensions and shapes for the fingerboard, soundboard (top), braces, back, tail block, fingerboard, fret spacing (this plan shows a 27" VSL), bridges, string spacing and so much more. Suggested wood types are also provided. This hourglass dulcimer plan will get you past the hard part of building an instrument, and right into the fun part - cutting, gluing, and finishing!
 
Please note: The various wood parts that we offer are appropriate for use with this dulcimer plan, but you may find that some dimensions don't match exactly. If you use the wood parts that we sell (the same parts we use in our own shop for building Folkcraft and FolkRoots dulcimers!) you may find it necessary to adjust this dulcimer plan to fit the wood perfectly. These mountain dulcimer plans are intended to offer you a starting point and a set of guidelines for the instruments you will build. This plan is a physical product, printed on paper. It is not currently available as a PDF or download.

Love these plans. Consistently amongst the most detailed and complete instrument blueprints available. We use these plans ( Dred, OM and Parlor) exclusively in our Acoustic Guitar Building Classes at SIMSCal. www.simscal.com.
Nice to have a good source.
Thanks

my ukulele is well on its way. Your blueprint was exactly what I needed. I recommend that to anyone very detailed.
