Delrin Rod, White, 1/8" Diameter

Our acetal copolymer white Delrin rod can be used on the bridges of your hammered dulcimer. Different uses can help you control the sustain of your instrument. Rods are sold in 23 1/2" long pieces.

On a typical hammered dulcimer, you'll see either white (this product) or black (also on the Folkcraft website) Delrin rod used in two places: the nuts, on the outside of your hammered dulcimer, next to the tuning pins; and the bridges, closer to the center of your instrument.

The nut pieces are usually a single piece, between 13 and 23 inches long. The bridge pieces alternate white and black, and are most often one 1 inch long. The 1/8" diameter Delrin rod for hammered dulcimers is easy to cut to length - a sturdy pair of scissors (sharp desk shears, or kitchen shears) works well, or you can use a pair of wire cutters.
