Description
Psaltery-like plucked dulcimer.

Body oak + 4mm (quite thick, but that's as little as our planing machine goes and I was lazy) heat processed birch for soundboard and bottom. + linseed oil + tar

Bass strings bronze-wound premium Pyramid strings + some old nickel wound bass strings.
Unwound strings mostly by courtesy of some friendly piano repair shop in Jerusalem, can't remember the name of the place now, they let me take strings for free (ze tov, toda!)

That's about it... Standard zither tuning pins are bought, otherwise 100% hand crafted.

And it sounds just <3<3<3<3

Tuned to some D variant I think. Anyway so that I can play Stones on it over and over...

The pelt is vegetable tanned sheep...
