Folkcraft® Rosette, Fleur-de-lis, Maple, 1 1/2" Diameter
Regular price $11.00
There is a relationship between total air hole area and body cavity volume. My 4 1-1/2” sound hole area is too large. So I am attempting to reduce the sound hole area through the use of rosettes. This should shift the tone more to the bass notes. Plus, they are just mighty attractive. So this was a trial to see if I could cut and glue the rosettes in place.
I was very pleased with the quality of the rosettes.
Prefect fit for my new dulcimer.
Bought the Folkcraft teardrop Dulcimer plan and have been building it for a few weeks. Added a Galax back and Journey tek pick up system. Hand carved Viking head. Turned to baritone, A-E-A. Honduras mahogany top, sides and backs. A walnut end and scroll. Mango wood for fret board and accents.
They look so beautiful in the Dulcimer I made. Thank you.
