Max Tone	Hammered Dulcimer Question (13)	RE: Hammered Dulcimer Question	29 Nov 00
I got a CD of 77 Hungarian dances from a band who'd come over to Edinburgh for the Folk Fest. Janosi Ensemble (Violin/Cello/Cimbalom) Hungaroton Classics label #HCD 18228. Rather lifeless recording, but lotsa tunes and local playing. Spaw, I've built a couple of 12/13s modelled from a UK built old one. Unable to get the right grain of Spruce, or suitable nice old straight grained pine flooring sans nail holes for the soundboard, the timber man flung a couple of boards of Brazilian Cedar at me and said --"Try that!" Sounds great, very springy and resilient, and nice and easy to machine. You ever tried it? Rob
