Kit
for TK O'Brien's Houglass Mountain Dulcimer. This hourglass
shape mountain dulcimer kit has all the same fine components as
the finished Walnut Creek model. The back, sides, fret board
and scroll head are solid Walnut. The top comes in a variety of
woods that include Walnut, Cherry, Cedar, Redgum and others (see
wood samples).
The
sound hole is a Hummingbird pattern with leafs and has already
been cut out. We do not offer any other choices for the soundhole
design.
Complete
with all parts and step-by-step instructions with illustrations.
One of the more difficult steps, placing the frets, has already
been done for you. The sides of the hourglass shape are pre-bent.
Assembling
the kit requires sanding, gluing and clamping, sawing/cutting
(the top and back do have to be cut to shape) and application
of a finish. Tools needed to complete: coping saw or exacto knife
(band saw or trim router can be used), needle nose pliers, drill
with 1/16 and 1/32 or 3/64 bit, carpenters glue, 2 bar clamps
with 10" span, C clamps optional, sanding block, sandpaper,
0000 steel wool, ruler or tape measure, and a finish of your choice.
