about 20-30 hours using mostly hand tools. A router is helpful for

Woods: Poplar sides. laminated birch neck,

Kit difficulty level:
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.
B
Building
this harp from our pre-cut kit is an immensely rewarding experie
ence.
Your friends simply wont believe that you could build such an exquis musical instrument.

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.
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.

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.

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
1.8 pounds
24 scale length
Rosette included (see page 27)

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

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!

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
point your browser to:

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
