Design Your Own FolkRoots® H Series Mountain Dulcimer
Design Your Own FolkRoots® H Series Mountain Dulcimer
Item Number 9000031
The FolkRoots H Series dulcimer is very similar to our D Series dulcimer, but it has a few key upgrades and additions. Starting with our largest body (8” wide at the lower bout, 2 1/4” deep), plus your choice of woods, both domestic and exotic, we've added a few upgrades.
The FolkRoots H Series mountain dulcimer has a 4-string flat head, and is typically strung up with 3 strings. The fretboard has an ebony veneer, and position dots at frets 3, 7, 10, 14, and 17. Choose from seven scale lengths, dozens of sound hole choices, and three fret patterns, and have us build your ideal dulcimer! All of our FolkRoots dulcimers have a fretboard width of 1 3/8".
FolkRoots dulcimers all feature our larger California-style body. This larger body has been a hallmark of the FolkRoots dulcimers since the early 1970s, and this larger body gives these instruments a big, mellow, guitar-like tone quality. Here's an article that discusses Kentucky style dulcimers versus California style dulcimers.
Every instrument we design with you is built by hand, one at a time, in our workshop in Rock, Michigan. We've been making dulcimers since 1968, and each dulcimer carries our five-year warranty. It comes with our padded soft case, made in our shop (a rigid case is available as an upgrade), and strap buttons.
