In answer to Tom and others,I made Appalachian dulcimers many years ago,loved the sound- playing one string with the other strings as drones ( I like bagpipe tunes) but realised the drawbacks, slides off you knees, no volume, sound goes up not out, hence the Strummer, the original Strummer has a small body more like a stick dulcimer, the "SuperStrummer" has a larger body with more volume and tone and is often fitted with undersaddle transducer which increases its appeal and volume!I find these much easier to play, can be capo'd and are very loud! The name Strummer may not be ideal, but it is very difficult to come up with an original name which is relevant and implies a musical instrument or sound. I have never thought of strimmers as either! and you can name it anything you wish when you get it!
