Description
The Mountain dulcimer, building, drawing plans and playing this instrument, or the Longneck dulcimer consumes my life like an addiction...... Hi, My name is Wendell and I am retired and living in the hills of Arkansas. The perfect place to practice my hobby; far enough away from everyone so as to avoid getting pelted with rocks for all to frequently hitting bad notes. Here are a few examples of my creations. I Like to think of them as creations, not construction projects ...

Charles A. Hoffman Hancrafted Guitars.
The harp guitar project is now well under way. I have obtained the wood for the top, the back and the sides, and have joined one of the tops (no photo yet) (I am making two instruments) and the backs. The soundhole rosette is in the top, they have been sanded to final thickness ...

Eastman Strings, Modern Instruments, Old-fashioned Quality.
Eastman Strings is widely recognized as a leading maker and distributor of fine stringed instruments and bows ranging from fractional size instruments for young beginners to outstanding master instruments and bows for advanced and professional players. Over the years, we have striven to supply musicians with the best possible quality at reasonable prices.

The wide variety of instruments available from Eastman Strings includes Chinese, German, and Eastern European lines. All are distinguished by their quality materials and expert craftsmanship.

Instruments by Eastman Strings are crafted using traditional methods and materials. Aged tonewoods and quality hardwood fittings are fashioned by hand by talented craftspeople under the guidance of master luthiers in precisely the same manner as the famous German and French workshops made them a century ago.

Our German instruments are constructed in the traditional cottage industry style, with specialists collaborating to create instruments in the manner of the Mittenwald and Klingenthal workshops of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Final adjustments, graduations, and finishing are completed in our USA workshops.

Bows provided by Eastman Strings are made by hand in small master workshops using traditional Permnambuco and Brazilwood sticks and ebony frogs with authentic nickel, silver, and mother-of-pearl fittings. In addition, Our K.Holtz and Cadenza bows employ modern materials to achieve age-old standards of weight, strength, and suppleness. Eastman Strings donates a percentage of the proceeds from ALL bow sales to the important conservation efforts of the International Pernabuco Conservation Initiative.

Each item Eastman Strings makes and sells has its own story to tell, yet all share one important aspect: they are created with integrity by people who care about your music making.

I got started in building hammered dulcimers as an intersection of my desire to own one and the fact that I choked on the thought of spending $500-$600 for a decent instrument. I designed the instrument above using a variety of sources and my trusty Mac. The result is a 15/14 (that's 15 treble courses and 14 bass courses) instrument with a laminated (fancy term for plywood) back and top. The top is luan plywood which is slightly less than 1/4" in thickness and the back is 1/2" nominal nine ply poplar. The keels (top and bottom of the trapezoidal frame) are made of figured 'soft' maple and the pinblocks are made of sugar maple, also known as rock maple. The top has a cherry stain on it. I didn't keep close track but I figure the instrument took me about 60 hours to construct. Uh.. lessee, that was probably about 6 hours of construction and 54 hours of tuning ...
