You and BackYard are gifts from God in my life. Thank you!

[@BanjoLemonade]

Wow, thank you

[@freddiemonroe5787]

@BanjoLemonade This is amazing. You are so kind to share all of this. I am trying to make my dulcimer with only repurposed and reclaimed parts. Can you share the info about the fretboard, such as the distance between the frets, how thick the frets themselves are, whether the fretboatd is curved or flat, etc. If it's too much to adk, thanks anyway for all the advice! 😊

[@davebelcher3307]

Great video. I just bought the materials to build my own mountain dulcimer. I was fortunate to find 1/4" by 3" poplar from Lowes so I won't need to rip the poplar for the sides. Does Backyard music still offer the "Mandy fretboard"? Thanks for all of your great videos.

[@BanjoLemonade]

Yes they do still make it. NICE find!! Have fun building it.

[@bobhubbuck]

You have done a grand job and the sound is great, I think that I will make one thank you so much for your post.

[@BanjoLemonade]

Nice!

[@susanround9075]

I am so going to build myself one of these. Then I will have two to play 🙂 thank you for this ❤

[@BanjoLemonade]

Have fun!

[@susanround213]

I've been really enjoying your lessons as well 😊

[@russellwaite5874]

Here in the U K, I have had a go at experimenting with a home made fret board with some degree of success. Your video has given me the inspiration to make the rest of it. I hope it sounds as good as yours if as and when I finish it. A little shop local to me sells replacement geared tuners for just a couple of pounds. I got some a few years ago . I just wish I knew how to send you pictures of the thing. Ah well, keep it up and I'll be looking out for your videos in the future. Thanks from Yorkshire U K. 🙂

Thank you! I want to learn but what if I’m not good at it

[@BanjoLemonade]

You can do it!

[@WIRCinc]

This is so neat. Do you happen to know if the guy still offers the neck for $50?

[@BanjoLemonade]

Not sure since it was several years ago. You could always ask him.

[@joanbusby3213]

Back Yard still offers the fretboard. They are $82 with shipping and they come with everything you need! I will be building mine soon. I have some walnut and Purple Heart I’m thinking of using!

[@williamlynch2375]

great video, thank you

[@redneckfranny9416]

Do you glue the fret board all the way down the sound board or just at both ends. Building one and need help

[@BanjoLemonade]

yes

[@redneckfranny9416]

Awesome

[@terrymasseyterry1520]

Where did you buy your fretboard from

[@BanjoLemonade]

link in description will tell you that thanks

[@kevinmencer3782]

If a simple box is all you need, you don't even need to know joinery. All you need is tiny brackets and screws.

[@BanjoLemonade]

You don’t even need any brackets, this is all put together with wood glue. Titebond 3. Just build a wood box of any size as a resonating chamber. Thin wood is best, put some holes in it and attach a good fretboard and you are there!
