ABSTRACT:
A dulcimer constructed primarily of wood, wherein the traditional heavy internal wood bracing structure, which is parallel to, and resists the compressive force of, the tuned strings and is connected to the back panel, is replaced by light metallic bracing, of tubular or other suitably engineered cross-section, which is also parallel to, and resists the compressive force of, the tuned strings, but is not in contact with the back panel.
