The Wildwood Dulcimer is a delightful instrument that combines the rich sound of a mountain dulcimer with a touch of banjo twang. Its unique body style enables it to be played like a guitar, deviating from the traditional “flat in the lap” position of the mountain dulcimer. The teardrop spruce soundboard, featuring two F-shaped sound holes, stands out in contrast to the long, thin ROSEWOOD fingerboard.
Dimensions:
- Overall Length: 34 1/2”
- Width: 7 1/8”
- Height: 2 1/4”
- Neck Width: 1 3/8”
The Wildwood Dulcimer has four string courses, consisting of loop-end strings: a wound string at the top, an unwound centre string, and two unwound strings tuned in unison at the bottom. The carved scroll peghead features a gold-coloured geared 4:1 banjo-style tuner. While many tunings are compatible, we recommend the traditional DADD tuning for ease of play.
The frets are arranged in a diatonic scale, similar to an Appalachian Mountain dulcimer. However, an additional “6 1/2” fret is strategically placed below the octave position, enabling the instrument to play in Ionian mode. The bridge to nut distance is 24 1/2”.
