Courting Dulcimer Plan

Item Number 1310002

Regular price $20.00

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.

Dreadnought hardcopy guitar plans

I purchased dread naught plans through another website, which provided the plans via PDF. After several hours and major frustration of trying to determine what scale to print these PDFs, I finally gave up. After searching the Internet to find a website that will provide a hard copy of the plans, I landed upon folkcraft instruments. I was able to find what I was looking for with ears placed the order and the plan showed up within two days. Thank you for providing such a wonderful website with easy to follow paths to find exactly what you’re looking for. I am 100% satisfied with the product. It was delivered and the entire process of ordering them.

Delivery was as expected, The Print is very comprehensive and the lines are very dark, suitable for reproduction or tracing.

Hourglass Dulcimer

I was given the hourglass dulcimer plan as a gift. I liked the parts list as well as the full sized design. You can use tracing paper to make a pattern so you don't cut or destroy the plans. It was very detailed with dimensions to where I had no trouble following what needed to be done from start to finish.
