Applecreek Mountain Dulcimer 4-String Solid Cherry Hourglass Body with Instrument Alley, Case, Book, True Tune Tuner, Strings, Polish Kit, Bundle ACD200K – Made in Romania

The Applecreek Mountain Dulcimer in cherry is a good, lower cost alternative to McSpadden models. Built of solid cherry with old-world craftsmanship, the Applecreek has all the traditional mountain dulcimer features. The mountain dulcimer is uniquely a North American instrument and was probably adapted from zithers brought to the United States by German immigrants. As North America became more urban, quiet folk instruments like dulcimers lost popularity, but the folk revival of the late 1950’s brought them back with innovations such as full-width, carefully placed frets. It’s very easy to play pleasing melodies with little chance of ‘wrong’ notes. All Applecreek dulcimers are handcrafted in Europe by experience luthiers. The ACD200K hourglass model is made using the finest available materials and the most meticulous expert construction methods. It is suitable for recording and for professional presentation. As easy to play as it is to listen to, it features Grover tuning gears for precise tuning. It is a wonderful instrument for any student but will be satisfying to a professional player.
