There's something here for people at every level.

Building your own Hammered Dulcimer

I get a fair number of requests for information on building your own dulcimer. Fortunately there is a lot more information available now than there was when I got started 25 years ago. The link takes you to a bunch more information I've pulled together. I'm sure there is more.
