Evans Dulcimer Build

After building a couple of guitars I was looking around for an acoustic instrument that might be easier to play. I hit on Dulcimers. My first was a hourglass style. It caught on in my family. The dulcimer in this video is my fifth.I have now settled on my own teardrop style. These are my own design and built from scratch. Some of my other dulcimers and my first guitar are visible at the end of the video. I hope you enjoy and maybe learn something from this video.

How so you bend the sides? I build rectangular dulcimers because I never could settle on a bending method that was repeatable.
