The Trail Dulcimer is an exceptional instrument, renowned for its simplicity and versatility. Its three-string configuration, comprising a wound string at the top, a plain centre string, and a plain string at the bottom, offers a wide range of tunings. However, we recommend the G3 D4 G4 tuning for ease of play.
The instrument’s distinctive features include a rosewood fingerboard with a 6 1/2 fret, a spruce soundboard, and a lacewood body and neck. The intricate laser-cut sound hole enhances the instrument’s resonance and projection.
The Trail Dulcimer’s body design allows for a guitar-like playing style, enabling players to hold it comfortably in their lap. This unique feature contributes to the instrument’s portability and accessibility.
The spruce soundboard, paired with the carved lacewood body, delivers a substantial volume for such a compact instrument. The diatonic scale arrangement of the frets, reminiscent of an Appalachian Mountain dulcimer, facilitates easy playing. Notably, the inclusion of the infamous “6 1/2” fret below the octave position enables the instrument to play in Ionian mode, providing a versatile range of musical possibilities.
