This section is a listing of instruments I have immediately available or nearly finished. I try to keep this listing up to date although I do occasionally make errors. If I indicate the instrument is nearly done that means I will need to spend some more time to complete the instrument. I often bring instruments to a point and than get other work and won't finish them until somebody actually puts a deposit down. Instruments that are indicated complete usually can be shipped within a week or less, upon receipt of a check for the full amount. If you are in a hurry I can ship instruments UPS COD for an extra $9. All I need is your address and the items you'd like to purchase sent to me via email. If you need to use a credit card go to my ordering page. Just remember that by using a credit card, it'll cost me 2.9%. Not a big deal on smaller purchases but on a larger instrument purchase it can add up. As a result I prefer checks on larger purchases. Shipping on all hammered dulcimers is now $45-$65 depending on where you live. Don't forget cases, flight cases, accessories, and stands. E-mail me if you have questions on what you see below or you'd like to make a purchase. If you don't get a response within a day or so, try again as your piece of mail may have been gobbled up by my junk filter. I can't provide photos of nearly done instruments but will try to post photos of completed instruments. I can take credit cards through my ordering page or I will hold an instrument until I receive a check if you indicate by email that you'd like a particular instrument. Just contact me immediately as instruments usually don't stay here long. Ordering Information in more detail can be had on this page. If you don't see something that fits your needs please contact me for a custom order. The price is the same. The only difference is you will have to wait a little longer for your instrument as I'll need to start from scratch. If you are not aware of what a particular wood looks like, check out my wood selection area. If you need to know the size and weight of a particular instrument click on the name of that instrument. I have a page dedicated to comparing the various models of hammered dulcimer which includes all my dulcimer prices. If you want a diagram of a particular hammered dulcimer tuning scheme either go to my Linear Chromatic page or my tuning chart page. If you'd like to read what a few individuals have to say about my instruments visit my comments page, Need a custom case for something else? New Orders I am taking custom orders again but there will be longer wait times and you'll have to be patient. I've been having some health difficulties which has slowed my work considerably.
