"The perfect blend of art & science"
Appalachian MountainDulcimers




The Golden Wood dulcimers have several features that set them aside from other dulcimers. The short neck is visually enticing and the flat headstock design serves to both make stringing and tuning easier and also provides a bed for the custom abalone and mother of pearl inlay. When ordering, include any design you like to fit inside the special box, and I will craft it for you as part of the instrument price.
Fingerboard inlays are available from the simplest abalone dots, to block markers or full length vines.
The Golden Wood dulcimers also include well compensated bridge saddles, tapered peg or hitch pin string retention, ebony or straplock strap buttons and an intriguing tailpiece design. Several styles of soundhole can be had and any combination of solid wood bindings and purflings including the finest New Zealand Paua abalone or other pearl edges.
