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
