The Serenade model is a full sized mountain dulcimer that expresses a bright voice, with healthy volume and sustain. It features a comfortable 26" scale length and functions equally well in the 3-string or 4-string arrangement. It is designed with a removable bolt-on neck to facilitate future refrets as well as retrofitting an internal pickup and wiring even after the dulcimer is completely built.

Audio Samples

The 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.
