Dear Ian, I suppose you are thinking of the steel strings of the dulcimer ? If it is so, you could obtain them in Hong Kong. Look at the net. Albert Ian...
Ian, If your looking for manufactured parts for a HD you'll probably spend almost as much as a finished HD. Rick Thum manufactures an inexpensive 13/12 called...

OK, seriously.... One attractive feature of the HD is that you can build it for very little cash and if it sounds terrible, you can easily remove the expensive...

Hi, I am new to this group as I just ordered a Hammered Dulcimer from Folkcraft (Legend 16/15/4/2). I really don't have a clue on how to play it but always...
... Interesting question and one I don't see too often. In the US, as far as I know everyone uses equal temperament because that is what is built into the...
