Stoneyend Handmade Appalachian Dulcimer
Beautiful open tuned fretted instrument, easy to play, and sounds lovely.
|
This dulcimer is handmade in the USA by Stoney End Harps. It has walnut back and sides, and a solid spruce top. It's an absolutely lovely instrument.
The traditional Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer is a lovely instrument with a delicate, sweet tone. Its name describes it best: "Dulce" is Greek meaning sweet; "melos" is latin for song. In the 1800's Appalachia, many daughters were named Dulcina, meaning "sweet one." No one is really sure of the dulcimers' origins, although there are references to a hammered dulcimer type instrument in the Bible.
Joni Mitchell helped to popularise this instrument, by using it to accompany many of her most famous songs. It's a fantastic instrument to sing to, or to compose songs to.
The instrument is tuned to an open chord (often E or D). The strings are fretted with your left hand, and strummed with the right, while the dulcimer sits on your lap. It's so easy to start playing this instrument, because you can fret it almost anywhere and get a chord in the right key, so it's actually very difficult to play a wrong note!
