Andy Mackie Teaches You are my Sunshine
These are not dulcimers or related to mountain dulcimers, though many people get these mixed up with walking dulcimers or ‘dulcitars’. Only thing that is the same between these 2 instruments is the diatonic scale. Walking dulcimers, modern versions of which are sometimes called ‘dulcitars’, are basically mountain dulcimers that have been re-shaped to be played while standing up (like a guitar). The seagull Merlin is an example. Whereas music sticks are descended from the one-string pickin stick, an old mountain instruments. They are both played in different ways. Walking dulcimers, because of their wide neck and 4 strings in 3 courses, are designed to be played like lap mountain dulcimers, with the 2 paired strings fretted, and the other 2 left open as ‘drone’ strings. Whereas music sticks, with their skinny neck and 3 strings in 3 courses, are designed to be played chorded, like a 3 string guitar
Thank you!
I love the background song Evan. "Joy of my Heart."
It's also my favorite Andy Mackie song as well!
these are very helpful
thank you

Hi, what size strings use, thnaks.
Excuse me for approaching you in this way, I have read your website and I liked it very much, I have also seen that it has several Pear dulcimer, I am trying to make one for my music group in Spain, we play traditional music with Celtic roots, we are from the northern Spain (Asturias). I was wondering if you could give me your knowledge on the matter. I await your response, but not before thanking you in advance for your time and dedication. Acordial greeting Alberto Fernandez Valledor
My apologies, I had never mastered or responded to any of the comment section on youtube, I'm sorry this went unanswered for 3 years. I wish you the best for developing and playing on the Pear dulcimer, that sounds great. It is a wonderful and interesting coincidence for me reading this, and learning where you're from in Spain, as "Asturias" is the song I have been learning on my classical nylon string guitar. All the best to you sir!
Just watched the whole tutorial, been looking at making a string musical instrument. And in going to copy your idea. One question, would this work as a 4 string version?
Absolutely! If the neck is slightly wider, it can accommodate another (4th ) string. Additionally, if the stick is just slightly longer, you'd add that 4th hole for the tuner. Finally, you can keep the 4th string's tuning the same as the third, (keeping the 2 strings tuned to the same note.) Alternatively, you've got additional options for alternate tunings and experimentation. Best of luck!
The "Dont_Rotate.cs" Script --- Paste inside the public class --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quaternion rotation; private void Awake() { rotation = transform.rotation; } private void LateUpdate() { transform.rotation = rotation; }
Hmmm. At 6:22, we see a 6 string guitar version of this design.....
To answer all the string source questions, buy a set of dulcimer strings. Alternatively, use the 3 smallest strings of a acoustic guitar string set and follow this video to install them. The other 3 strings are not used here. If you make this thing yourself, get the strings from Stewart MacDonald guitar shop at the same time you buy your tuners and fret wire from them. They also have wood for the top and back, but it is expensive and not made for this instrument, but can be adapted.
I'd like to know where to buy the saw blades for the frets.
You need to buy a fret saw. Local hardware store.
That's right! Alternatively, I ordered a fret-saw from Stewart MacDonald as well... It's a very thin table saw blade!
I agree you do sound like a nice guy ...but that little dulcimer just doesn’t have enough a** to sound good ...it sounds like a muted string on a ten can ...don’t like the stick but I do like your style 😎👍
I saw you comment on a Strumstick video, too. Just attach a pickup, cord and amp. Plug that baby in and you've got an Electric BoomStick!
I have no clue what youre on about. This is such a beautiful sounding instrument, and has plenty of potential and flexibility. It isnt quiet at all, and as the dude above said, you could attach a pickup and such if you really feel necessary. Not every stringed instrument is the exact same, my friend!
@Master of Zero, Strange how you can say that, as the video evidently is clear the instrument can make musical sounds. Your criticism is seems out of place, as it would resemble others who criticize people who use spoons, washboards, bones, leaves or even paper bags to make musical sounds. If the dulcimer isn't for you, then it isn't for you. That is your choosing.
I guess that's why you are called Master of Zero.
No worries on the criticism here, Yes, there are trade offs in sound quality . Not having a big resonating hollow chamber (on a real guitar or dulcimer) will dampen or mute the sound quality somewhat. It's the nature of acoustical properties from such a small strum stick. Hopefully this'll simply be an approachable entry point for musical instrument building; which will lead to someday working towards building a real guitar with more or a voluminous resonating chamber!
Cedar Creek dulcimers makes a version of this where you can play every single chord with one finger. They call it the cord stick.

Where to purchase one?
Great craftsmanship
I made a companion video where I drew out the gluing jig (Video 2) as well as listed the parts that I used when I built Andy Mackie's stick dulcimer. I attempted to clarify some of the questions I had, when I built my first one. ruclips.net/video/SFY3rrndolE/видео.html It's a fun project and sounds remarkably good. :) Oh yeah. I also listed the parts I used, in a comment above. I hope this helps.
In preparation for building one of Andy Mackie's stick dulcimers, again, I came back to refresh my memory. In doing so I was able to watch several videos about who and what Andy was/is. Very inspiring. I would recommend seeking out his story. Here's one to get you started... ruclips.net/video/seYzRpdpJnE/видео.html Also, A rainy, sleeting, December evening, found me drawing up the tail piece gluing jig, (seen in video 2). I put together a short video. Give it a look if you think it would help you. Within the video and in the video description, I included links to all of the hardware that I used, as well as a couple of tips learned the last time I built one. I think the jig is important to keep the sound box straight with the neck, though I'm not certain why he has the half circle cutouts on his jig, or if they are even necessary. I will probably leave them off of my jig. Here's the link to my Tail piece gluing jig video. ruclips.net/video/SFY3rrndolE/видео.html It's meant to be a "stop and read" kinda video. The music in the video is from a video I found with Andy playing the harmonica, and singing. It's a fun build and sounds surprisingly good. Not to mention you get to be a part of Andy Mackie's legacy. He is my newest hero. :)
I was blessed to be Andy Mackie's friend, he was such an inspiring person to me. We taught an instrument building class together in the woodshop for middle school aged students. He would show up in the morning, covered in sawdust from getting the materials prepared from the night before, and was often feeling cold, since the shop in his barn had no heat. When the first bell of the morning sounded, and the children arrived, the color would return to his face, and he'd be just overjoyed to be in the presence of the youngsters! He would whistle a gentle tune while working, sometimes humming a song! To answer your question about the half circle on those jigs, well, those were to accommodate the clamps we used, to clamp the stick to the jig. Thank you for the kind comment with the links included
You do realize that Strum Stick is a copywriten name.
What a nice man, wish I could have met him.
where is the sound hole located?
I know this is five years too late, but for anyone else interested I have a Mackie made stick. It fits the dimensions noted in the first video. Measuring from the last fret down, the hole's edge is 4 5/8 inches (117.475 millimeters) away. The center point of the sound hole is roughly 5 1/8 inches (130.175 millimeters).
You know, the measurement of the sound holes we made in the woodshop was never a science, nor were they consistently located. We tried wider holes, narrower holes, placed towards either direction experimentally, until we decided upon a 'general' placement to go aesthetically along with the geography of the shape. I think I liked the sound hole more toward the bridge, since the space is wider, thus having more area of tolerance. If it was closer to the fretboard, there ran a risk of the hole being too close to the edge, or showing the rib spreader wood beneath. Best of luck!
Great to see that... I made it too. Using WoodPrix handbooks :)
CAPOS!
I enjoyed these videos greatly. he has a "Bob Ross" quality to his voice that makes him a pleasure to listen to.
Some details on the fret wire that I used which worked really well. I got stuff either from C.B. Gitty or Amazon.com. Fret 0 was Jescar Jumbo Stainless steel item # 10-009-03, Fret 1-12 were Jescar Medium Stainless steel Item # 10-008-03, and the nuts were made from Narrow/Low nickel-silver fret wire item #10-001-01. The fret saw for these (.020" kerf) was a Zona 35-380 18 tpi. I'm going to switch to Super Jumbo fret wire for fret 0 Item #10-016-01 (althought thejumbo worked fine). I also got a miter box from C.B. Gitty Cigar Box Guitar Fretting Miter Box item # 41-008-01 which is just thin wood, but it works and is only $7 and has the right thickness for the Zona saw above. I just got the McNally set of strings which were easy to install. I used the Ping Steel String Guitar Tuning Machines 3 on 1 tuners model #P2632 rom Amazon for $20 for a set of two, but there are really nice.
I want to thank Andy Mackie, I know he's up in heaven but I'm sure he hears us. What a nice man and what a nice series of 6 videos that are very detailed and helpful. I built my first music stick and I know I am just a beginner. It came out nice, not perfect but I learned a great deal and hope to do better now. A few things for others to consider who like me might be not as good as some at woodworking. First I'd say start with a stick 1 1/4 inches wide - you need this for when you file down the frets, maybe start with a 1 inch wide stick after you practice on the first stick you build. Also when you cut out the stick and it looks kind of like a tuning fork, you will spread those sides out to form the sides of the sound box - make a jig so that you can ensure the sides spread evenly or close to evenly, I didn't and the center of my sound box was not really centered on the fret board since one side bent a bit wider than the other side - I goofed. Also when you drill the 3/4" hole in the top of the sound box, it is best to lay the board on the stick in position, check the center line from the stick down and use that center line for where you center your drill bit. I was off a bit because I centered the hole just on the sound box top without checking against where it might be off a little versus the center of the fret board. The result is my strings are not centered over the hole, but it still plays nice. When I sanded the bottom of the sound box, I pretty much had to use a electric palm sander at 80 grit, otherwise I don't think you can sand the end of the bottom of the sound box to blend into the body of the instrument, at least I could not do it by hand sanding. Last tip is I didn't like putting the strings 1/8" from the edge - I think it is better to put them in 5/32" it's just a little but it ensures your string is easier to play. By the way someone mentioned the tuners don't have holes in all three string positions, but it is easy to drill an extra hole in the tuner so that really isn't a problem. However on my next build I will try to drill smaller holes where the strings go down around the tuners, but staggered like the McNally Strumstick - you can look and see what I mean. If you don't have a planer, you can buy 1/8" so called thin-stock at Woodcraft or Klingspor and other places. I did use Sycamore for the sound box and it worked fine. I used Padauk for the stick. Anyway I hope this helps anyone like me who is a novice to have a few tips for beginners. Also anyone can feel free to say, no don't do what Ralph says, that's okay - just explain why so I can learn more too.
Thank you for your kind and informative comments, containing your practical advice from your experiences!
The same as a Strumstick then, just under a different name.

Only thing that is the same between these 2 instruments is the diatonic scale.

I know you have solution for that on woodprix website. just google 'woodprix' :)))
How come it appears that the body of the instrument isn't completely aligned with the neck? You can see it clearly at 6:24, there's more space on the left side of the bridge pins than on the right. Is there any way to prevent this?
Aha, I think I know what happened for this one; I measured with a string down the fretboard, and marked where to hammer in that pin, so that the 3 strings were perfectly centered and aligned to the stick and fretboard. The possible mistake or variance would occur when spreading and gluing the shape of the body. If they weren't perfectly clamped to the jig, or if we were sloppy, the center line would shift off....
thanks for posting these videos. I've made 4 of these so far and everyone who sees them wants one.
I really appreciate your friendly teaching style. I learned a bunch!
Great videos.....
I think you mean 57.7 cm and 57.8 cm. If you mean mm as you say then the difference is only one tenth of a millimeter which can't be measured using a tape measure.
I came to the same conclusion. 57 mm is only 2.24 inches, and that's way too short.
for those who want to know, the center hole is 3/4", i've made quite a few of these now. on a 1" stick, 3/4" will leave 1/8" on each side, which is exactly what you want. these things sound great if you use some decent wood. maple and pine work really well together. make sure the tops and backs have no knots and the straighter the grain the better for output... i've tried making some, using scrap cut-offs, with plywood tops and they sound dull and are very quiet compared to the very dry, straight grained, sections of knotty pine tops i used.
Also, I found in my experience that the harder wood on the back, such as maple, complements the softer wood for the front, which is spruce, definitely projects the sound outward and gives it a 'warmer' tone. I've tried using maple for the front before to experiment, and I think I detected the sound quality to be more "tinny", or 'sharp.' The softer spruce for the front definitely warmed up the sound.
Great series of videos. Very informative and hopefully will help make the first one I build much better. Thanks for making them.
My compliments on your presentation. Totally clear with a minimum of language. I will build one of these for my grandson. Thank you Andy for the time and thought that went in this production and I hope your poor finger nail has grown back. Doesn't that hurt like hell? I have had a couple of those myself and I'm sure I have the world's record on the string of profanity that followed as I am Swedish also. I wish you the best in all things! Tom
Andy never cursed, as far as I remember! He never complained about his scraps or minor injuries! His hometown by the way, was Aberdeen Scotland.
got to build me one of those things :) i am hoping to get started on a lap steel 6 string this winter as well as a steel string acoustic guitar, but these instruments just sound so cool, thanks
The lap steel 6 string sounds so cool! It would be neat to hear those played using a slide too.
I'm trying to get a Stick Dulcimer group started at <groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/theStickDulcimers/info>
why not give the blade thickness your cutting the frets with? its very important information?
chrysagon200 did you find out the thickness
As far as I know, there is only one size thickness to a saw blade fret saw... They sale them on the stewmac.com website. Not cheap, but certain this is what he's using.
That's right from the other comments. I used a Stewart MacDonald Fret Saw blade. These have increased in price since I got mine. We also used a hand-held fret saw for many of the instrument kits, since they were nice and safe for the school children to learn on.
www.stewmac.com/search/?q=fret+saw+blade
No need to cut out the top and bottom before assembly. Just glue on the whole panel and then trim with the bandsaw or use a flush cutting router bit.
Absolutely brilliant i can not wait to make one although i already have a mc Nally strum stick and play it of sorts now i know how to build one this will be this will give me the most satisfaction thank you for having the time and patience and shearing with us all. just brilliant Chris
thank you
great video
