Dulcimer Sound Hole Cover Rosettes

There is a relationship between total air hole area and body cavity volume. My 4 1-1/2” sound hole area is too large. So I am attempting to reduce the sound hole area through the use of rosettes. This should shift the tone more to the bass notes. Plus, they are just mighty attractive. So this was a trial to see if I could cut and glue the rosettes in place.
