Hand Made Mountain Dulcimer for Sale

[Greg B]

Hi Folks: I've been building some pretty fancy dulcimers from exotic hardwoods for the past 7 or 8 years. But every now and them I like to build a simpiler instrument that I can sell at a lower price point. This is one of those dulcimers.

I've built the fretboard and headstock from a single piece of walnut and that save a lot of labor. I've also done a simple top to sides joinery without inlayed binding and that saves me time and money.

But the instrument itself is very nice indeed. The frets are laid out using the same laser cut template that I use on my other dulcimers, guitars, and mandolins. The bridge is compensated to make sure the dulcimer plays in tune all the way up the neck.

The back and sides are made from bookmatched walnut. The top is a beautiful piece of spruce with lots of "lace" figure in it. The fretboard is 1 1/2" wide with a 25.5" scale length. The body is 29 inches long, 2 3/8 inches deep, and 7 inches wide at the lower bout. Total length with fretboard is 36 inches.

Normally, my dulcimers start at $400 and go up from there. With various options added in they usually cost in the neighborhood of $600.

For this dulcimer I'm only asking for $300.

Thanks for looking.

I like that headstock, very unusual. I still have the dulcimer I built 35 years ago, with the help and use of shop of a friend who built them in Stanwood, WA. It's a walnut and western red cedar model. Don't play it much, but it looks good hanging on the living room wall.
