The Dulcimer Family
This page is designed to educate you about the different types of dulcimers I offer and their unique characteristics and sound. Each model is thoughtfully crafted with attention to detail—considering elements like sound hole shape, placement, and scale length—to create instruments that are beautiful, rich in tone, and easy to play. I take great delight in offering what I believe are some of the most aesthetically pleasing and best-sounding dulcimers available today. Every model also includes a high-quality custom fitted Bella Dulcimers gig bag to keep your instrument protected.
