 Examples of 3/16/15/8 Small Travel Chromatics |
||
| The instruments below are meant to give you an idea of some of the possible combinations of woods. The selected woods could be used on any of my hammered dulcimer models, Linear Chromatics or Tsimbls. |

This instrument is only 38 1/2" wide, slightly deeper than normal (4 1/2" total) and weighs only 14 lbs. This particular instrument has a black Redwood soundboard and back, mahogany frame, Santos Rosewood pin panels and Paduak trim and bridges. It also utilizes a metal bar instead of a wooden bridge for the top 3 courses. The treble bridge is at a slight slant on this instrument which is different than all the rest of my dulcimers which have the perpendicular treble bridge. Despite its small size this dulcimer still has nice tone and full chromatic range making it my best option for a light weight travel instrument. I am now offering the option of dampers for this instrument. The good looking woman modeling the dulcimer is my wife Karen.
