Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer

Handmade in Romania

This is the Apple Creek FAD-1 4-String Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer. Handmade in Romania, the FAD-1 offers extraordinary value for money. The beautiful sounds of the Mountain Dulcimer make a wonderful introduction to the world of stringed instruments. It is also an excellent choice for folk song accompaniment.

The Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer has to be one of the easiest musical instruments to play. Tune it up and simply fret a note with your finger or a “noter” and strum. The diatonic tuning and unique string spacing make it easy to pick out melodies. Fret two strings or more at once for chords.

Handcrafted in Romania by experienced luthiers, this Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer features a Spruce top, richly stained Maple back and sides and a Maple Fretboard. Geared machine heads are provided for easy and precise tuning.
