Delrin Plastic Nut And Bridge Stock, White

I purchased an older dulcimer that was missing its nut. The existing slot for the nut was narrower than the standard 1/8” Derlin nuts that Folkcraft offers, so I bought the Bridge and Nut Stock and sanded it down to the thickness I needed. It took a while to do, but it was easy to work with and worth the effort. So, actually, making the nut didn’t make me nuts!

The Delrin nut and bridge material works very well. It's hard enough that the strings don't cut into it, and easy to work with.

Dimensions are consistent from order to order. Good tonal properties.

The way that I handplane and make my fretboards they sometimes have odd widths. With the Delrin I can custom cut to fit. Cuts easy, supports the strings well and doesn't deaden the tone at all...I like em...
