Custom Instrument V

Posted by David
I’ve just received 2 more pictures from Kevin W. Jones at Olympia Dulcimer Company. The Chromatically tuned Walkabout Dulcimer is almost complete. In the below images you will see the neck fit to body and the bridge being glued to the top. The closeness of the images depicts the beauty of the wood and the different wood grains are visible. The diatonic fret markers can be seen in the bottom image. Working with Kevin has been a wonderful experience. It was his idea to send images of the dulcimer as it is being built and he has been availble via phone and e-mail for any questions I've had. Thanks to all of you for letting us know how much you have enjoyed watching the building process of this instrument.
