To our Dusty Strings community,

In order to slow the spread of the coronavirus, Washington state has mandated that all non-essential businesses close their stores and offices so that Washington residents can stay home as much as possible. During this time, we will not be in the office to answer the phone, but some of our staff will be able to work from home, and we will be as available as possible by email. We look forward to staying in touch with you, and appreciate your patience if we are slower than usual to respond to your questions!

String & Accessory Orders

We know that music may be essential for many of you to get through this period with your sanity intact, and we are doing our best to ship what we can, while adhering to the guidelines for isolation. We should be able to fill most string orders, and can ship some other small accessories, but our capacity and supply are fairly limited. You are welcome to place online orders during this time, understanding that your card will be charged, and that, depending on the items ordered, it may be several weeks or even longer before we are able to ship them. We will communicate with you if your order is delayed, and once it is safe to go back to work, the orders that were placed earliest will ship first.

Instrument Orders

If you are interested in a harp or hammered dulcimer, please contact us by email! We are not able to build or ship instruments in an isolated way, but would be happy to answer questions and offer guidance, and can put you on a waiting list to get in touch with you when we are back up and running.

Hammered Dulcimer Cases

The C10 case fits the Prelude, Apprentice and D10. The C45 case fits the Overture, D45 and PD40. The C300 case fits the D300. The C500 case fits the D500, D550 and D570. The C600 case fits the D600, D650 and D670.

These cases are made specifically for Dusty Strings dulcimers, and are not likely to be a great fit for any other instruments. You can compare your dulcimer to the approximate dimensions on our dulcimer model pages to see if you can find a likely match, but we would recommend contacting a custom case maker to get a better fit. Please note that the C300, C500 and C600 cases are asymmetrical, and will probably not work with anyone else's dulcimers.
