| Wolf |
Wolf was my first electric dulcimer, made just after Froggy2. I'd seen electric dulcimers before. Cheap compilations of scrap lumber with strat pickups that they were, I'd hoped to improve on that for my own. I surely did that. I've got a walnut and maple neck thru with moradillo fretboard stuck between two poplar slabs. The bridge is a banjo style bridge made of aluminium to ground the strings, and that's important. The whole body cavity, pickup cavity and the outside of the pickup are covered in conductive paint to alleviate RF interference. The pickup itself is, of course, hand made. It's as simple as I can manage with an alnico 5 magnet molded into the center of the bobbin, wound with 43ga wire to a resistance of only 3.48Kohms and then slathered in epoxy. It sounds quite nice, almost to the point of being amazing and has the potential, with effects, of sounding like a sitar. The inlay is a howling wolf under a crescent moon.
It sounds like: Thunderbird on Wolf (Electric Solid Body)
