Thread Name: Help: 6 string dulcimer
Subject: RE: Help: 6 string dulcimer
Hi. Found old six string cigar box dulcimer. How do you tune it? How far exactly are the strings supposed to be from off the fretboard? Oh yeah, there are no actual frets. Just a board with printed lines. Right now, the strings are about a whole cm off the board. Also, the high strings are farthest from the player. Don't know where this came from or if is even built right. What are the proper strings that are to be used? If someone out there knows anything actually pertinent, a comment or two would be appreciated.
