Notice: Though we always have and will continue to build our instruments in Seattle, WA, USA, most of our materials are specialized and must be imported. We regret that due to the impact of the higher tariffs we're paying now, we had to raise our instrument prices on August 15th.
We have tried to create as accurate of a comparison experience as possible for those who aren't able to try our different dulcimer models in person. To the best of our ability, our dulcimer recordings were made with the same microphone placement for all models. There were no effects or equalization added, or any other manipulation of the sound. We do recommend listening with headphones for the best experience!
The tune is Josefins Dopvals (Josephine's Baptismal Waltz), written by Roger Tallroth (used by permission) and played by Ray Mooers. After an arpeggio with wooden hammers, the first half of the tune is played with leather covered hammers and the second half with wooden hammers.
