This Serenade model Tindle Dulcimer features the Custom trim level and is made from Bolivian Rosewood (aka morado) back & sides, a Sitka Spruce top, and Hawaiian Koa bindings. It has a 27" VSL (vibrating string length) and a diatonic fretboard plus the 1.5, 6.5, & 13.5 frets.

The Serenade model is a full size mountain dulcimer with a clear, balanced tone. Its refreshing, inspiring voice sings with healthy volume and sweet sustain and does not sound "boxy" or "twangy".

This Custom Serenade includes copper metal powder maple leaf inlays on the fingerboard, as well as a copper, bronze, & nickel silver "Tree of Life" inlay on the headstock

Strap buttons and a hardshell case are included, as well as an LR Baggs bridge saddle pickup system with integral end-pin cable jack already installed.

Audio Samples

The first 2 videos below are short audio samples of this specific dulcimer. Nothing can replace in-person playing and listening, but hopefully these samples will give you a good idea of this dulcimer’s particular voice.

We used one studio quality microphone directly above the dulcimer in roughly the same position as the player’s ears. The recording was done in a quiet, non-reverberant room, and no signal processing was performed on the resulting audio file.
