Dulcimers
I’m working away in the shop and mountain dulcimers will soon be available. Please feel free to inquire.
I sometimes write about instruments in progress on my blog.
Here are some dulcimers in progress.
All my dulcimers are made using fine hand selected quarter sawn tonewoods.
My goal is to combine the best qualities of traditional dulcimers with modern lutherie to make an instrument that is responsive, expressive and easy to play.
Most of the work is done using traditional hand tools.
Tops and braces are hand thicknessed and shaped for the best balance of tone and responsiveness. Fretwork and bridge compensation are executed to the standards one would expect on a fine guitar.
