Lap Dulcimers
Meadows
Mountain Dulcimers
Also known as the lap dulcimer, this is the instrument that is
most closely associated with the Appalachian region. It is a
descendant of the German "scheitholt" and other
European instruments and has only adopted the name "dulcimer"
in the last 150 years or so. Our most popular models are listed
here.
Heritage Dulcimer
This is an heirloom quality dulcimer. We build this in both teardrop
and hourglass models with walnut back and sides. The two top
woods that we use most often are western cedar or redwood, although
we occassionally use other woods. This instrument sounds as beautiful
as it looks. A walnut fretboard, open gear tuners, and a 61/2
fret insure that it will be comfortable to play.
$369.00
The "Fancy Gap"
This dulcimer is designed for the advancing player and performer.
A new fretboard design provides enhanced tone and volume. A deeper
soundbox provides a richer tone and we offer several options
that can be incorporated in this instrument for you to create
a custom fit. A bone nut and saddle and a rosewood fingerboard overlay
with pearl dots are standard features.
