I have asked to build a hammered dulcimer for a customer. Now I know there are kits and things I can get. However, the dulcimer she currently has is a $3500 professional muted sustain model. SO I need to ask if anyone has ever built a hammered dulcimer from scratch? How does one setup a muted sustain?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I would love to do this as it would be a totally new experience for me. I am a turner at this point and always looking to expand my knowledge.
