GUEST, the Strumstick maker's site is here.

Leenia, the long-scale chromatic one, tuned CGC, is currently $210 from the maker. The chromatic nature of the beast and the scale of the neck (longer space between frets) make it a bit of a mind bender to switch over to, from lap dulcimer. Once I put some marks on the totally unmarked fretboard so I could get a handle on which frets were which, I did OK. A dulcimer player who has never played guitar or any other chromatic fretted instrument might have more trouble getting used to it.

Also, of course, since you hold it like a guitar, the high string is on the far side of the instrument, not the near side as on a lap dulcimer. So if you chord and use an asymmetrical tuning (like CGG, which would be GGC on this instrument), your fingering patterns would have to be reversed.

My long-term view: It's good for jamming and an adequate ensemble instrument in the right setting (like my nautical music band), but its tone is not really up to solo performances or recording, except as a curiosity. I was a little underwhelmed with the way it sounded when I sang with it at a Getaway concert.

Cheers,
Claire
