My aunt wants me to build her a hammered dulcimer, probably a 12/11. The problem is I can't figure out all I'll need. Can I get a "parts list" for one of these things? I'm getting plans, but I'd like a parts list so I can calculate how much the entire project will cost.

Sorry..

What's a hammered dulcimer? is it a dulcimer made from a sheet of metal hammered into shape?

Similar to the chinese Gu Zheng, except the strings are pounded instead of plucked, so it produces a different sound.
