Fun lightweight and easy to play our Wildwood Dulcimer has the rich sound of a mountain dulcimer with just a little bit of banjo twang. The body style of the Wildwood allows it to be played like a guitar instead of the traditional "flat in the lap" position of the mountain dulcimer. The teardrop spruce soundboard with three rosettes stands out in contrast to the long thin rosewood fingerboard. Choose between a dark rosewood or a creamy lacewood back. The Wildwood has three string courses: a wound string at the top an unwound center string and two unwound strings tuned in unison at the bottom. Many tunings will work but we recommend the traditional DAD to make it easy to pick up and play. The frets are arranged in a diatonic scale just like an Appalachian mountain dulcimer but... Less

The D-TAR Big Soundspot is an extremely versatile pickup that captures the sound of such diverse instruments as berimbau, hammer dulcimer, harmonica, kalimba, log drum, 6- and 12-string steel-string acoustic and nylon-string classical guitars and others. SoundSpots are ultra-sensitive piezo crystal transducer pickups suitable for stringed and non-stringed acoustic and ethnic instruments. Unlike other dot-type transducer pickups, each SoundSpot is hand ground to extremely fine tolerances. This process, along with the selection of materials, produces a pickup with a very thin surface that can maintain its strength and flexibility. The result is a pickup that is ultra-sensitive to your acoustic instrument's surface vibrations and, therefore, is extremely natural and warm sounding. D-TAR -... Less
