Agreed, Martin Tallstrom is a great player & arranger. He's a man of good taste as well - he's just ordered a custom Gustav Fredell guitar Vic

A BIG thank you to Dave White for exceeding my (high) expectations for this build. Fit & finish is second to none, the tone is really 'sweet' & the aesthetic is gorgeous. If anyone is thinking of buying an Appalacian mountain dulcimer, Dave's your man.
Cheers Vic

I've been quite taken by the sound of vicov's soon to be completed hourglass dulcimer that davewhite has been building (he posted a soundclip a few days ago)... if one comes up cheap on eBay... Don't hold your breath Leo.

If I'm in a hurry then it's just a case of getting it done asap, and I don't usually bother changing the plain steel strings unless I didn't do so at the last string change. Keith I have always changed the full set (which on 6 string is a labour of love , not so much so on the 12 string ). So I've wondered about whether its necessary to changed the non-wound pair. Would be interested to know whether others, like Keith here, leave these on longer and
a) is it their view that they don't lose their tone and b) do you therefore buy the wound strings as singles; and does this cost less or work out the same.

All or nothing for me. (Seems to apply to everything I do). Cheers Vic

Thanks guys. Using the De Faoite "hares" was Vic's idea (they were drawn for me by my daughter Martha) and the Sparrowhawks my idea. I'm very pleased with the look. .....and so am I. Cheers vic
