19th Century Style Dulcimers

Fine 19th Century Style Lap Top Dulcimer

We special order this quality instrument from Black Mountain Dulcimers and furnish it with rosewood friction tuning pegs.  It is made with a solid quarter-sawn cedar top and solid cherry back, sides and head. The fingerboard is cherry. Together, these woods produce a sweet, ringing tone.  The longer scale and deeper body give these instruments more volume and a richer tone than many of the dulcimers you may be familiar with. This is a good all round dulcimer for solo performance or for voice accompaniment - a nice American made instrument.

They feature scroll heads, heart-shaped sound holes (optional round or diamond shaped sound holes are available at no extra charge), four-string set up, nickel/silver fretted fingerboards, and book-matched solid wood tops and backs. Although geared pegs are common from the mid-19th Century, it is difficult to acquire correct looking brass, bone or ivory components. Though a little trickier to tune, our 19th Century Style Dulcimers come with friction tuning pegs to appear more "old-timey".  The hourglass shaped bodies have lacquered, hand-rubbed finishes. Length, width, and depth are 36" x 7 7/8" x 3 1/8". Scale length" is 29 1/4". (Also available with geared tuners)

Economy 19th Century Style Dulcimer

We special order this custom instrument from Black Mountain Dulcimers and furnish it with rosewood friction tuning pegs.  Construction cost is reduced by substituting a thin Mahogany laminated top from quarter sawn spruce or cedar. This gives the instrument a brighter tone than the "hour glass" dulcimer below, but still sweet and subdued.  It is great for voice accompaniment or for solo performance.  The aspen leaf or tear drop shape is actually more appropriate for the mid-19th century, with the hour-glass shape becoming more common later in the century and into the twentieth century.  If you are looking for an American made sturdy, light weight little travel instrument, this is your best buy.

It has a four-string set up with one piece peg-head and fretted fingerboards. The rosewood friction tuning pegs are added to appear more "old-timey".  The teardrop or aspen leaf shaped bodies have lacquered finishes. Length, width, and depth are 31inches x 7.5 inches x 2.6 inches. Scale length is 25.88 inches.  (Also available with geared tuners)
