Courting Dulcimer Plan

Item Number 1310002

Regular price $17.00

If you have ever wondered how to build your own Courting (or Double) Style Dulcimer, then you need this building plan for the Courting Dulcimer. This full scale sized pattern shows you the exact dimensions and shapes for the fingerboard, soundboard (or 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 patterns. This courting dulcimer plan tells you everything you need to know to build your own DIY dulcimer.
 
Please note: The various wood parts that we offer are appropriate for use with this courting dulcimer 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 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.

Parlor guitar plan

Nice plan.other plans by Scott offer 2 heal options.spanish and dove tail this plan only offers the dovetail. I think I'm going to change it to the Spanish. I like that connection better. Also you called lt concert parlor and the plan says this is to be used with steel strings as it was drawn after the Lion and healy model Columbus. I think I want nylon strings. I have not started the project yet. I'm collecting up some parts and I guess it's my option to change it the way I want. I do like the size of it. I will know more later after I've built it. I do plan on using this plan but I may alter it.

Thank you!

Clear Full-size Plan

I’ve constructed two dulcimers in the past, one a teardrop style and the other a 13/14 Hammered Dulcimer. Although they both turned out beautiful, it would have saved time to have clear, detailed plans like this one. I’m looking forward to making one this fall.
