-
Each dulcimer is handcrafted by Don & Jackie, giving each instrument that down-home look and appeal.
-
All dulcimers are $269.00.
- All solid woods are used. We use no veneer or plywood.
- The tops are of booked-matched cedar.
- The backs are of booked-matched black walnut or cherry.
- Heads, sides, and fingerboards are made of wood to match the backs.
- No stain is used, just a durable clear lacquer finish to bring out the natural beauty of wood.
-
We use Quality geared guitar tuners to make it easy to keep the instrument in tune.
- Frets are made of German Silver, and position dots are located on the fingerboard at the 3, 7, 10, 14, & 17 frets.
-
The fingerboard is bridged at the 3rd & 10th frets with added soundholes underneath the bridges for more volume.  - 6 ½ fret is put in upon request at NO CHARGE. (The 6 1/2 fret is an added fret giving you a sharp note.)
- Teardrop Shape is pre-civil war; early 1800's in southwestern Virginia. It has a deep full tone.
- Hourglass Shape is post civil war; 1870's Ohio River Valley. It has a higher or sharper tone.
- Artistic Sound Holes in your choice of hearts, crosses, butterflies, F-holes, hummingbirds, leaves, walnuts, and painted flowers.
-
Our dulcimers measure 36" long and 7" wide with a string length of 27". The depth of the sound box is 2". These dimensions give our instruments a full rich tone. The standard height of the strings is 2mm or a little higher than the thickness of a nickel when the nickel is placed on top of the 7th fret. (Anything less could cause a buzz.)
-
All of our Dulcimers and Dulci-jos can be converted for Left-Handed playing at no extra charge. (Just let us know in the comments section on the order page that you would like your instrument to be Left-Handed)
-
Each dulcimer comes with tuning instructions, a noter & pick, and a chart to translate music to dulcimer tablature by the number.
-
2 Strap Buttons can be added for $5.00.
Also available is "The Best Dulcimer Method - Yet" music book with 139 songs in D-A-A tuning for $12.99. To order, simply state so in the comments section of the ordering page. -
Plushed-lined cases made to fit all our Dulcimers and Dulci-jos are available for $55.00 when you purchase one of our Dulcimers or Dulci-jos. (See the case pictured on the bottom of OUR DULCIMER page.) -
