This option is for an LR Baggs brand bridge saddle pickup to be permanently installed and internally wired to a 1/4" cable jack that replaces the tailpiece end strap button. All you see is the cable jack / strap button.

If you ever want to play your dulcimer through an amplifier, or plug it in directly to a live sound system or recording interface, then this is a smart option. While this pickup can be installed at a later time, it is best to include it within your initial order to save you the cost of shipping your dulcimer both ways.

I have these pickups made to my specifications for string spacing, and they sound wonderfully natural with minimal audio processing. The best advantage of using a pickup in a live sound situation is being able to be heard in a large room without the typical microphone feedback problems.

Protecting your investment is of utmost importance to us. When shipped, your dulcimer will travel safely within its hardshell case, which is then carefully wrapped and generously packed inside a sturdy cardboard box.

DOMESTIC USA - Fully insured domestic USA shipping by UPS is provided to any location within the continental US for one flat rate fee.

INTERNATIONAL - For all other shipping addresses, fully insured international shipping is provided by UPS or USPS. Rates will be calculated at checkout and can vary greatly based upon your location. Tindle Music Co. does not mark up these carrier rates at all, but includes a small handling fee to package your dulcimer for safe shipping. (Please note you will also be responsible for any and all taxes, custom fees, etc. when your dulcimer arrives in your country).

CUSTOMER PICKUP - You may also choose to make arrangements to pick up your dulcimer from me, either here in Tulsa, OK or at a festival I attend.
