Teardrop Mountain Dulcimer Plan

Item Number 1310001

Regular price $20.00

If you have ever wondered how to build your own teardrop shaped mountain dulcimer, then you need this plan sheet. Our full sized pattern shows you the exact dimensions and shapes for the fingerboard, soundboard (top), braces, back, tail block, fingerboard, fret spacing, bridges, string spacing and so much more. Suggested wood types are given as well as alternate peg box/scroll head patterns. This plan shows you everything you need to build your own teardrop dulcimer!
 
Please note: The various wood parts that we offer are appropriate for use with this dulcimer building plan, but you may find that some dimensions don't match exactly. If you use the wood parts that we sell (the same parts we use in our own shop for building Folkcraft and FolkRoots dulcimers!) you may find it necessary to adjust this dulcimer plan to fit the wood perfectly. The intention of this dulcimer building plan is to offer you a starting point and a set of guidelines for the instruments you will build. This plan is a physical product, printed on paper. It is not currently available as a PDF or download.

Top Quality

Although I've played various instruments for 40 years, I'm new to dulcimers and one of those people who has to have a few of the same instrument. I've purchased a few dulcimers from private professionals, but I have to say that Folkcraft's is the best quality I've put my hands on so far. The fit, finish, overall beauty and sound is by far my favorite. I have a full walnut custom teardrop that was on their "ready to ship" list. I looked at it for weeks before deciding to spend a little more than I planned, but I'm so glad I did. I also do woodworking, so I bought their plans to build my own. I've discovered a new source to help satisfy my musical needs! Thank you Richard and team.
