Ambrosia Maple is created by the ambrosia beetle boring small pin holes into the tree, which creates brown, black and gray-blue streaks in the wood. These beetles also bore into other trees, like the Walnut back on this dulcimer, but the streaking is less pronounced in the darker colored wood. The fretboard is Maple with a Walnut fingerboard overlay. The 25½" scale has 18 nickel silver frets including a 1½, 6½, 8½ and 13½ frets for a full two octave range on each string.

Nickel strap buttons are already installed and it is setup to use either loop or ball end strings. The shorter scale length and low action (distance between strings to frets, which determines how easy it is to press the strings down) makes this an excellent dulcimer for someone looking for an easy to play instrument.

At one time, Elm trees were among the most common trees in America. But due to the Dutch Elm disease it was nearly pushed to extinction. This makes it very rare to find in sawmills or lumberyards. Soundwise it pairs very well with light, warm-toned woods like cedar. So this dulcimer has a bookmatched Aromatic Red Cedar top with bookmatched Elm back and sides as well as the scroll and fretboard. The 26" scale length includes 18 nickel silver frets including a 1½, 6½, 8½ and 13½ frets for a full two octave range on each string. The Grover Sta-Tite tuners have a 14:1 gear ratio and lifetime manufacturer's warranty. The inlays are Mother-of-Pearl and the nut and bridge are bone. Matching strap buttons are already installed and it is setup to use either loop or ball end strings. This dulcimer has a nice warm tone with great clarity and volume and you will certainly not be disappointed in the sound.

Kentucky™ 4-String Dulcimer (CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE) Click Here To Hear This Dulcimer Click Here To Hear This Dulcimer - Two Price $395 plus $30 shipping (within lower 48 US states) If you are familar with old instrments from the 1800's
and early 1900's you know that many, if not most, were black. This includes many
early dulcimers. So this dulcimer is made to look like an antique from that era,
although with modern enhancements to make it more playable. In fact, I first
began making this style of dulcimer for people involved in historical
reenactments. However, it is not painted but turned black by using an old
process that has been around since the middle ages (which is too much to explain
here). But suffice it to say that it actually turns the wood black instead of
simply coloring it. Length 35½" Width 6¾" Body Depth 2½" Depth with Fretboard 3¼" Add a high quality padded case to protect your new dulcimer!!! |

don't have the time or interest. They are then stuck with a very expensive "wall

learning or as a second dulcimer for travel. Length 34¾" Width 7¼" Body Depth 2" Depth with Fretboard 3¼" Add Strap ButtonsAdd a high quality padded case to protect your new dulcimer!!! |
