    I finally finished something!

    I posted this earlier:

    http://www.bt3central.com/showthread.php?t=27685

    Well, it's finally done - it has some faults - but DANG! It sounds really good...


    Just what I need, another slippery slope to slide down! Now it's instrument building.





    Sorry for the picture quality - my flash is a bit much - and I don't quite have enough light in the apartment. I'll try to get some better photos when I have a bit better lighting.




    Some weird aliasing or something in this one - but it kinda looks cool...

    Kit or not, that's a good looking dulcimer, Scott.

      That looks great, Scott. I'm sure you have a lot of time and care in it.

          Larry,

          This weekend! I'm going to help Mom out around the house - she's hanging in pretty well in the aftermath of losing Dad. It's also my brother's birthday this weekend, and we'll have a "pickin' party" - so that will be "Dulcinea's" debut! You have to name musical instruments - Dulcinea is of Spanish/Latin derivation - meaning "sweet" - and that is a good description of her sound!

                    I'd be afraid to make something that good looking. NICE WORK!
