About our Hammered Dulcimers 

Alison chooses Dusty Strings hammered dulcimers for their excellence in sound, construction, and appearance.
There are 4 main categories of HDs based on size, chromaticity (number of keys you can play in) and arrangement of bridges. Within these categories you can often select for laminated or solid wood soundboards.

To save shipping costs and make learning and playing more accessible and enjoyable, it is recommended that you look carefully at the list of accessories offered and order these at the same time as your instrument 

A great compendium of free information about hammered dulcimers is available from the Dusty Strings' Hammered Dulcimer Owner's Guidebook which is included with all dulcimers.  It provides note charts for all models plus handy info on tuning, string replacement, care of instrument and much more.


All website list prices subject to change without notice.
An Email Quote shall confirm the price for 10 days.
