2 recently completed dulcimers for Travis Springer. The Cherry was built first. While still under construction, Travis inquired as to the likelihood of building a dulcimer using Macassar Ebony for the back & side wood. After a search the wood was located and and yielded enough wood for 2 dulcimers. The 2 nd Macassar Ebony dulcimer is still under construction.

Travis decided to tackle the inlay and did a marvelous job!

Decription:

Cherry Dulcimer

Highly Figured Cherry back and sides.

Gotoh tuners

Adirondack red spruce top.

Undersaddle pick-up

Wood bindings

Ebony peghead overly, fingerboard & bridge.
