Frequently Asked Questions


How hard is it to assemble a kit?
All of our kits include pre-cut wood parts, complete assembly
instructions, and all of the necessary hardware and strings. You
provide your own woodworking glue, hand tools, sandpaper, and
finishing supplies.
We have given each kit a Hammer Rating as a rough guide to how
difficult the kit is to assemble. All of our kit directions are available for download from our website and we strongly encourage you
to check them out. This is the best way to get an accurate feel for
what is involved in building each particular kit.
A breeze! Two or three evenings time for assembly.
Good for building your woodworking confidence.
Friends and family members will be very impressed!
Contains a few memorable moments.
Challenging, intricate, character building.

What does In-the-white mean?


In-the-white refers to an instrument that has been assembled but
not yet finished and strung. Many of our instruments are now
available in-the-white. This is a nice option if you would like to
customize an instrument with your own decorations but dont want
to assemble the complete kit.

If I buy a kit, do I need blueprints?


No. We do offer blueprints for many of our instruments but these
are intended for serious woodworkers that would like to build from
scratch using their own lumber.

What kind of warranty do you offer?


To ensure your satisfaction, we guarantee our products from the
date of purchase up to:
30 Days - For returning any finished item in perfect condition for
refund or exchange.
One Year - For returning any re-usable kit for refund or exchange,
even if you have started to assemble it. We are also available for
hire to finish what you have started.
Five Years - For repairing or replacing any parts that fail due to
defects in material or factory workmanship.

Pre-cut kit

The pre-cut kit is a 15-20 hour project that has been greatly
simplified because of our easy bolt-together neck configuration. The body can be assembled using mostly hand tools
although a router (optional) does speed up the project.
We offer the Smartwood in-the-white as well. This configuration means the body has been assembled by us. You
will apply the finish, bolt the neck together, and install the
hardware.
This is our only harp we offer finished but unstrung. Order
this version and all you will have to do is bolt the neck together and install the strings.

REGENCY HARP
People appreciate the classic design
and visual appeal of the Regency
Harp. It looks quite regal because
of the large platform at the bottom.
Despite the heft of this harp, it is
supremely balanced so as to feel almost weightless while playing. Many
harpists tell us that this model is one
of the best sounding folk harps on
the market today.

New Model!!
FEATURES
36 strings
Range A1 to A6
56" tall, 32" deep, 16" wide
Weight: 26 pounds
Woods: Mahogany body, neck & pillar
Walnut trim

We have spent years trying to design a lightweight


36-string harp with performance quality sound.
This sweet Afton Harp is the result of our efforts.
Tims design is a visual delight that features stunning
ribbon mahogany, elegant lines, and walnut accents.
The semi-staved back creates a comfortable playing
experience as well as strong visual appeal.
This harp is well balanced and has concert string
spacing. The bass and mid-range are rich without
being over powering and the tone is consistent
through the treble range. Simply a joy to play.
The Afton Harp is not available as a kit. This harp
will be sold finished only. There are several options for us to customize this harp for you. For
an additional cost we can add carvings(pg. 9),
rosettes(pg. 27), inlay(pg. 27) and your choice
of levers. Contact us to discuss the options youd
like.

GOTHIC HARP
FEATURES
31 strings
Range E2 to G6
60" tall, 24" deep, 18" wide
Weight: 22 pounds - cherry
Woods: Cherry body, neck & pillar,
6-ply aircraft birch soundboard
Kit difficulty level:

Our Gothic Harp is a popular model


among music therapists because
it has monofilament nylon strings
throughout, giving it a warm, mellow
tone and light string tension perfectly
suited to healing applications.

Building the pre-cut kit is more


challenging due to the curves built
into the soundboard and back.
Youll want an extra pair of hands to
help install these pieces. You will
also want a large work table, a half
dozen clamps, electric drill, power
sander, and a jig-saw, along with
normal household tools.

We have been building this model for


over 25 years and it has proved to be
our most stable harp, requiring less
tuning than any other model. The
stability comes from a combination
of lower string tension and the slight
curve built into the soundboard and
back piece.

Blueprints for this harp are available for the serious woodworker
looking for a challenge!

Harp is shown with optional levers. Any Musicmakers harp can be fully outfitted with sharping
levers. Check out page 10 for more information.

I built my harp with absolutely no woodworking experience.


I didnt understand at the time what a meaningful project it
would be, but it has been a very powerful part of my life as a
harpist to learn to play on an instrument I built. Thank you
for all that Musicmakers Kits does to help facilitate this relationship between musicians and their instruments.

Jennifer

SHARPING LEVERS

WWW.HARPKIT.COM/LEVERS

Harps are diatonic instruments. This means that,


without help, they will only play the notes of a major scale, confining the harp to just one key. Sharping levers are added to harps so you can quickly
change keys without re-tuning the harp.
Every Musicmakers harp can be completely outfitted
with any of these levers. If you are able to successfully build one of our harps from a kit, you have
the skills to install these levers. We provide excellent
installation instruction for each brand. The Jordan
and Universal levers are the easiest to install but the
Loveland Levers arent much more difficult and offer
a more refined look.
Choose the installed option if you are ordering a
finished harp.

Voyaguer harp shown with Universal Levers. Gold color on the F and C strings.

Adding levers to your harp makes the instrument


more versatile and allows you to play many different
styles of music in nearly any key.

Easy to install on ANY harp!!


HARP LIGHTS
These self-adhesive lights are simple to
install. Just peel and stick the lights under
the neck of your harp. Power is supplied
from a 9 volt battery or by the optional AC
adaptor. Wiring connections are plug and
play. No soldering required!

Add some dramatic lighting to


your harp! Perfect for a candlelit
performance or as mood lighting in your living room. Bright
enough to light your strings and
sheet music so you can play with
no other light source.

The battery and most of the wiring is easily


hidden inside the body of the harp and held
in place with adhesive backed velcro.

HARP DESK

This ingenious music stand-without-the-stand attaches directly to


the pillar of your harp. Completely adjustable in height and tilt,
the Harp Desk grips the pillar with cork padding, so it will not
mar the finish of your harp.
The harp desk is quite sturdy and will easily bear the weight of a
heavy 3-ring binder filled with music.
Available in two sizes. The standard size works great for normal
song books. The mini size is perfect for tablet devices.

The Harp Desk Kit is a simple project to build


at home. You will glue the four pieces of the
clamp together, glue the desk to the ledge,
round over the sharp corners, sand, finish and
install the cork. You can download the complete assembly instructions from our website
for a step by step walk through of the process.

Mini Size - 9 wide

HARP DESK

Standard Size - 18 wide

Price includes rosette. Select a style from page 27


Available in cherry or walnut

A must for people who take their


instruments out of the house. These
slide in the bottom of our gig bag or
can be strapped under the harp as
shown. Includes a brake so you can
play without removing the wheels.
People that play their harps in hospitals or elder care facilities love these
wheels. No more lugging your harp
from room to room. Just release the
break, tilt the harp back and roll away.
The 7 wheels easily handle small
bumps like going in and out of elevators.

Mandola
Baritone Ukulele
Mandolin

Instruments shown with optional medium rosette (pg. 27) and inlay banding (pg. 27).
*We can install inlay banding on finished or in-the-white instrumenst for $100.

The Parlor Guitar is slightly smaller


than a standard dreadnought acoustic
guitar. We like the proportions of this
size instrument and how easy it is to
play.
The Octave Mandolin has a rich
sound you have to hear to believe.
Uses the same chord shapes and
fingerings as a standard mandolin.
This instrument will add color to an
ensemble.
The Mandocello has the lowest tuning of all the Dakota Instruments.
Same tuning as a cello but no bow
required. You wont want to put this
one down!

Dakota Instruments
The pre-cut kits for the Dakota Instruments are highly refined projects
with beautiful solid wood and lots of customizing options for inlays,
rosettes, and finishes. When finished, these kits make professional quality
instruments with impressive tone and playability.

Parlor Guitar Kit

The parlor guitar kit parts are shown to the right. All of the
Dakota instruments are rated at 4 hammers because of the
level of involvement and the attention to detail that is required for assembly. Expect to put in 40+ hours to complete one of these
instruments. Youll want to take your time and give this project your best
effort because you are going to have an instrument that you will cherish
and play for years to come.
If you dont have the time or desire to build a pre-cut kit, consider the
in-the-white option. Youll get the instrument already assembled but you
will do a final sanding, apply a finish, and install the hardware and strings.
Faster yet, just order the finished instrument ready to play!

The Concert Ukulele is the most common size ukulele. It is one of the easier
fretted instruments to learn how to play
and is popular with all ages and for all
styles of music.
The Baritone Ukulele has the ease of
playability as the concert uke, but is
tuned lower. Tuning is the same as the
highest 4 strings on a guitar so you can
use the same chord forms.

The Mountain Dulcimer is a true piece


of American Folk Art. The instrument
comes to us from the southern Appalachian Mountains which is where it gets
its other common name, the Appalachian
Dulcimer. Its long history and continued
popularity are due to the fact that the
instrument is relatively easy to build and
simple to play. The sound is pure, sweet,
and as simple as the pastoral pleasures
these instruments evoke.
Learning to play is easy. You can pick out
a tune by ear using just one finger on the
diatonic fingerboard. Or you might try
learning from one of the instruction books
listed below.

Shown with optional medium rosettes (page 27)

Folks have been making these by hand


here in America since the 19th century.
Musicmakers has made it easy for you
to join this rich tradition with two different syles of mountain dulcimers. The
hourglass style is a more traditional shape
and the teardrop style is slightly easier to
build.
Expect to spend between 20-30 hours
building from our pre-cut kit. Adding some decorative inlay banding (page
27) around the edge is great way to
customize this project. Youll need a router
if you want to do that.

Hourglass Kit

I purchased a tear-drop dulcimer kit from you some time


ago. Not only am I completely satisfied with the finished
instrument but I am equally pleased with the afterpurchase service given to me by Musicmakers. My next
project? Unknown at this time but quite possibly another
mountain dulcimers instrument kit from Musicmakers.

HAMMERED DULCIMER
FEATURES
66 strings, steel and bronze wound
17/16 bridge layout
Solid mahogany top
Maple frame
Weight: 17.5 pounds
Kit difficulty level:

The Hammered Dulcimer is a fascinating instrument


to play. You strike the strings with hammers and each
note rings out beautifully. This makes even simple,
unadorned melodies sound rich and full. The rhythmic
possibilites inherent in the striking style of the hammers make this a fun percussive instrument too.

Our pre-cut kit takes about 20-30 hours to build.


Youll want a good supply of clamps, a power sander,
and a drill press for this project. You can order some
rosettes (page 27) for the soundholes or cut out your
own design! Installing all 66 strings is a wonderful way
to cultivate patience.

Adjustable stand
sold separately

Pre-cut kit

I have been extremely pleased with the 17/16 hammered


dulcimer built from your kit and on the service provided
by you and your staff. As a retired bean counter who had
never built anything in the past, I was not sure if I would
manage to build a musical instrument, but your kit instructions and the kit itself made it relatively easy.

BOWED PSALTERY
The Bowed Psaltery sounds much like a
violin, but each note has its own separate
string. The natural notes (white keys on
the piano) are on the right side, and the
sharps and flats (black keys) are on the left
side. Just bow along one edge or the other
to play the notes you want - no fingering
required!
Includes a camera mount on the bottom
so it can be attached to a tripod for two
handed bowing.
The pre-cut kit is a 15-20
hour project and youll want
several clamps, a drill press,
and an electric hand sander.

Pre-cut kit

This is our most involved kit and requires patience and


attention to detail. Use a router to add optional inlay banding, a scroll saw for
cutting the soundholes, a band saw
for shaping the brass
crank, and a buffing
wheel for polishing
the brass.
Optional: Add 2 large
rosettes (page 27)
for soundholes.

Though not an authentic replica,


our Renaissance Guitar has the
the shape of a 17th century lutestyle instrument. Adds authenticity to period festivals and events.
It plays just like a standard guitar,
same scale length, tuning, etc. The
large sound chamber and solid
mahogany top provide a big, rich
voice. Choose either steel or nylon. Works best with a strap!

Folk Instruments
Strumbly has been one of our most
popular projects since we introduced it in
2006. If you can count to ten, you can
play Strumbly. Weve heard from lots of
people that were frustrated with guitar
but found success on Strumbly. We
have a play-by-number songbook written specifically for this instrument that
includes over 125 songs.

FEATURES
3 strings, steel
25" long, 8" wide, 1-3/4" deep

What is Strumbly?
Simply put, Strumbly is the easiest
musical instrument you will ever play.

Our pre-cut kit is about a 10-15 hour project. Youll


glue the frame to the neck which is greatly simplified
thanks to the slots cut into the heel. Glue on the front
and back and then trim and sand. The fret-slots are
pre cut and the holes for the tuners are pre-drilled.
Sand, decorate, apply some varnish, string it up and
start strumming! Download the assembly instructions
for a detailed walk through of the assembly process.

CARDBOARD KITS
FEATURES
4 strings 33 long 25 scale length

Our cardboard guitars and dulcimers are very


popular both at home and as school projects.
The body pieces are laser cut so the shape of the
instrument is just right everytime. The white
cardboard is just begging for fun decorations.
Youll be amazed at the sound and durability
of these instruments. Both kits use real geared
tuners so they hold pitch extremely well and are
easy to tune.

Kids can build a musical instrument in


about four hours!
These cardboard kits are most suited to
ages 9 and up but younger children will
enjoy the projects too if they are assisted
by an adult.

Cardboard Guitar Kit Parts

Each kit includes a simple songbook.


Kids are much more motivated to learn
to play an instrument they helped build!
Our simple 2-chord song approach gets
them playing real songs right away.

#installing frets #smiling #learning #having fun

Two Chord Songbook

Decorating possibilities are endless.


A trip to the craft store + your imagination =
an instrument that is unlike any other.

CIGAR BOX UKE
We provide the cigar box, the pre-cut
wood neck, and all the musical hardware
and strings along with complete assembly
instructions to build a working ukulele.
Have your own cigar box? Just order the
hardware pack and pre-cut neck.

FEATURES
4 strings
20 long
14 scale length
Tuning: GCEA

Micah is not quite five. He was able to help with the sanding, screwing the
neck to the box (after I drilled the holes), holding one end of the strings
taut while I tied the knots, threading the strings through the holes in the
tuning pins, and turning the tuning key. It was his choice to mount the
neck on the bottom of the box so he can open the secret compartment more
easily. I glued on the toothpicks, broke off the ends and applied the handrubbed (tung oil) finish.
Thanks for the FUN PROJECT!

All of the projects on these two pages are rated at 1-2


hammers. They go together using regular household
tools and only take between 4-8 hours to assemble. These
are fun weekend projects and all are suitable for kids ages
10+
The best thing about these instruments is that they really
play! We have designed all of these projects so that they
make real musical instruments, not just toys.
The Thumb Pianos are a HUGE hit at our house! Our family
loves playing music together. The girls have figured out Heart
and Soul to play together :) Their piano lessons have taught
them to use their ears to try to figure out different songs /
melodies. We love the beautiful instruments we purchased from
Music Makers! We will definitely encourage
friends to check out your website. :)
-Krista

The pre-cut kit is a simple


weekend project. It will take
about 6-8 hours to glue the
parts together, sand, apply a
finish, and install the hardware.

Our selection and variety of musical strings will help you get just about any
instrument strung up!
If you are designing your own instrument you will find two extremely useful, free resources on our website to help you find the correct strings.
The String Analysis Spreadsheet provides valuable information on string
tension and the article Secrets of the Harmonic Curve explains the string
window, saving you hours of trial and error and lots of broken strings.
Both of these resources can be found on our website in the library. Just

SMARTWOOD HARP
See Page 4
Hello Musicmakers,
I recently bought a smartwood harp kit from you and am extremely pleased at the resulting instrument. Everything turned
out beautifully! The harp sounds great (beautiful, resonant, and
sustained tone)... I wont be using my previous harp anymore! I
love that the smartwood harp is a floor harp - no more harp stools
for me now, either.
I also appreciate the card I received in the mail shortly after my
purchase. Its nice to have this level of customer service! Im definitely going to check you guys out when Im ready to upgrade to
my next harp.
Ive attached a picture of my finished harp (I also restore antique
furniture as a hobby - what a great combination of hobbies this
harp project was!).
Everything is great,
Thanks for all the support,
Geoffrey Rapier
