I need help with this, and not knowing any local HD players, I thought I might ask here. I'm taking a Celtic music ear-training and repertoire-building class....
Another question from me. I'm the one whose soundbox cracked a couple of months ago. The maker kindly and promptly sent me a new instrument with some holes...
Amanda... Why don't you make a little video of what you are trying to explain and post it up on YT? You can always pull it down again if you want once your...
I appreciate all the info. i seem to already understand a lot of what you;re telling me. One think I could reall use is some of the veldrin. I lost a few....
Thanks, Cyndee. If only I was that technologically advanced. J It is a great idea, if you have the tools. Good luck with your new HD! - Amanda From:...
I'm not sure you really need to worry about moving the bass bridge. Since there's only one playable note on the strings that use the bass bridge, I would think...
Thanks Amanda! Do you have a video recorder? Or maybe even your phone? You can record. Then transfer it to your computer via usb. Then just upload to YT. ...
You are invited to the following music night:  workshop of santur, a piano ancestor: performance and talk by Roozbeh Nafisi The program will include...
Answering one of my own questions.I got some advice from the maker and learned how to adjust the bridge. Not difficult and it worked very well. I am still...
I've broken a zither pin! What now? How do I get it out? ... Cyndee ... From: James Rathbun <dulcidude@...> Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2009 6:54 AM To:...
I've never had to remove a broken tuning pin, but have had to remove other similar broken objects. First, if any part sticks up, try vicegrips, and perhaps...
Thanks fo the info! Leave it to me to do something unheard of...grin. I'm stringing a kit and I had a bit too much torque and sheared the pin off. Those pins...
Let me know how the extraction worked, and how your instrument sounds when completed. I once considered building an instrument, but decided that the amount...
Wait....before you drill, etc. Go to a store (maybe automotive parts store) and get an "Easy-Out". This small tool is threaded like a [tapered]screw, but the...
Guess What? Yup...broke another pin! Only me! Anyway...they both broke at the point where the string ges through the pin and there is a wee crease thre...just...
One possible reason for breaking the pins might be that they have been put in so far that they have reached the bottom of the hole and so can't turn further in...
The Pest... Thought I would share an update on the HD saga. No...the sheared pins aren't out yet. Though...I did string a single string for each of those...
While looking for a stand for a kit-built entry level 12/11 dulcimer that I bought for $40 off of Craigslist, I found what I think was an even better deal. I...
I'm quite sure this is not from Musicmakers Kits since they used a wrap around method for each two courses rather than separate strings and hitch pins. I hope...
It could still be a Musicmakers. The kit I just finished, though old, included instructions for stringing using the wrap around method as one option. Cyndee ...
This looks VERY much like a Chris Foss 15/14 I recently purchased, except the bridges are different. There is a round hole toward the right side on the back....
Thanks for all the responses. I'll look at the Musicmakers site again. It's so well built I'd assumed it was not a kit, but that's probably my own lack of...
The label on mine is directly beneath a sound hole and is easily seen. I suppose labels can fall off though. The biggest difference I see is the style of the...
Goodness...now I know how tired I was last night... My kit is a MasterWorks...not a Musicmakers. Don't type when the brain is disengaged for the evening. Grin....
The musicmakers web site shows current models which are quite different from the older ones. Drop a note to Jerry Brown there and I'm sure hell give you a...
Wow, that is very similar. I'll have to send them a note to ask if they can ID mine. I'll try looking inside it with an angled mirror and flashlight to see...
