Smokey
Mountain Dulcimers
This is a 4 string Mountain, or
Lap Dulcimer. I learned to build these in the Smokey Mountains. They
take many different shapes but all play the same. The one shown is
my standard model.
It has a 6 1/2 fret for sharps
and flats. The body is made from Red Cedar on top ,Cherry on the sides
and ply on the
back for strength.
The instrument is my best seller.
I have sold several hundred of this model. They are great fun to play.
Any body
can play
one. They are played by numbers with one finger.

BANJIMER DULCIMER
This is a very interesting dulcimer. I build a tear drop dulcimer body
and install a banjo head just under the bridge. The head is a skin covered
6 inch round small banjo head. It has a great sound which is very different
from the mountain dulcimer. It has a lot of volume . The sound is between
a banjo and a dulcimer. They are alot of dulcimer players now playing
a Banjimer.
The body of a teardrop dulcimer with a 5 inch hole in the back just
under the banjo head to let more sound out.The body is sides and back
are solid Poplar wood which has many different color patterns and has
very good tone. The front is RED Cedar which is very perty and also a
very good sounding wood.
It has a full diatonic or dulcimer scale with 2 octaves. I also put
in the 6 1/2 fret for those sharps and flats depending on how you tune.
It is approx. 36 inches long ,8 inches wide.
Take one of these to your next dulcimer meeting and watch the people
look.I build these each one by hand in my shop. They are American made
by a Hillbilly craftsman from the Smokey Mountains, My self Thanks for
looking at my Banjimer
