The Mountain Dulcimer is a beautiful traditional instrument from the American musical tradition, also known as the Appalachian dulcimer or lap dulcimer. With its characteristic curved body shape, warm walnut wood, and decorative F-holes, it is a special instrument both in sound and appearance.
The body is made of solid rosewood, while the top is made of solid European spruce . The four sound holes ensure good sound projection and emphasize the instrument’s traditional appearance.
With its four strings —two melody strings, a middle string, and a bass string—the mountain dulcimer produces a warm, clear, and resonant sound. The traditional tuning is DAD, though the instrument can, of course, be tuned differently according to the player’s preferences.
Thanks to its straightforward fretboard layout, the mountain dulcimer is particularly well-suited for beginners. Melodies can be learned intuitively, and the combination of melody and drone strings quickly produces the typical, distinctive dulcimer sound.
The mountain dulcimer is ideal for traditional American and Celtic-inspired music, folk, singer-songwriter music, and intuitive playing. Thanks to the combination of solid walnut and a spruce top, the instrument produces a warm, natural sound with beautiful resonance.
A special instrument for anyone looking for an easy-to-play stringed instrument with character and traditional charm.
