I'm not really good or anything, but my dad made one once, we have changed the strings since he made it

Do you know what gauge(s) string you used?

[Rudolph the Red]

no...I'm sure you can find a website about it though...

I would think that your local music store that sells them would be able to get you strings. By the way, though I have never played, I absolutely LOVE the sound of the Hammered Dulcimer. Rich Mullins' A Legacy a Litergy and a Ragamuffin band has lots of Hammered Dulcimer in it.

first one has gauge stuff, second one has re-stringing stuff
