About our Instuments
  • Each dulcimer is handcrafted by Don & Jackie, giving each instrument that down-home look and appeal. 
  • All dulcimers are $199.00.
  • 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, shamrocks, butterflies, F-holes, hummingbirds, leaves, walnuts, painted flowers, and natural knotholes.
  • 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.
