Appalachian Dulcimer = Mountain Dulcimer = Lap Dulcimer The Appalachian Dulcimer is a versatile instrument that belongs to the psaltery or zither class of instruments and has been a popular folk instrument of the Appalachian mountain area of America since the first pioneers settled there and now enjoying a well deserved increase in popularity. Its popularity lays in its simplicity in playing and its versatility in tuning to different modes. It is usually played with a plectrum with the instrument across the lap.

RWC Appalachian Dulcimer The 5 string hourglass Appalachian Dulcimer is a traditional hourglass shape instrument with 5 strings tuned as two pairs and a single. We use figured English sycamore for the back and ribs, Swiss pine for the soundboard and plain sycamore for the fingerboard which is fretted by CNC machine for accuracy.

The 4 string hourglass Appalachian Dulcimer belongs to a series of
instruments which have been designed for practicality and economy. The materials
are chosen for their tonal qualities (English sycamore, beech or laminated
birch). Each instrument is hand built to special order in our own workshops in Toledo (Spain) and comes with 12 months warranty. A soft padded bag or fitted hard case are available as optional extras if required.
