So I am saving up some dough so that I can afford to get the necessary items to start building a guitar. I’m looking forward to working with Sensei Todd to get started. I still need some more money before I can start that adventure.
In the mean time I want to practice, and test my wood working skills with a little project that should help me prepare for Sensei Todd. I’m pretty sure that project will be.....................................................A Mountain Dulcimer.
It looks like it would be fun to build, and fun to play. The materials are cheaper, and let be honest….Amy wants one. I really think it will help me improve my skills so I can really get going with the instrument building and repair. I am having fun with the little projects I have done so far, but I think I’m ready for the next step.
I still have some instruments that friends have given me to work on, and I will continue to work on those. Some of those require skill beyond what I am currently comfortable with. I’m hoping that building this dulcimer will help move me in the right direction.
