Very nice Paula! I'll look forward to hearing how you like it!

Check with Lauri Cole who is a member on this forum. She has a wonderful guitar stand that fits any Mountain Dulcimer which should include the Modern Mountain Dulcimer. It is made mostly of wood and folds in or out depending on the size of the dulcimer that is being held. The price is pretty reasonable.

Cheryl,

The stand made by Doug Felts is my favorite and it fits my MMD,Rockwell, Simerman and other instruments. Adjusts easily and the stand can fit into a suitcase if you unscrew the pieces which keep a dulcimer from slipping sideways. Thistle Dew Acres is their farm in Ohio and Lee is called The Ohio Bag Lady. Their products are high quality and good value. My sister in law has one of Lee's first bags and it is still protecting her dulcimer. Her cats love it too....

Thank you Sir!

I have a Doug Felts dulcimer stand and it fits my MMD very well. Actually adjusts separately at top and bottom to fit every instruments I've ever tried.

Thanks Mary!

They are such nice folks. I enjoyed chatting with them at dulcimer U. Will email him this week and see.

I'm sure if you called or emailed him, he could tell you if your MMD would fit....

Thanks Jan....I forgot that Doug had stands. They look like they will hold a MMD.....I should have checked while I was at Dulcimer U and the Felts were there also but it never occurred to me....grrrrr. :)

I have a really nice one made by Doug Felts. I've been very happy with mine...it seems to adjust to all the sizes of dulcimers I own (but I don't have a MMD! Hope this helps!

The stand is adjustable for width and depth-I think it would work for just about any guitar.

Thanks Phil! Is that an electric guitar stand then?? My acoustic stands are wide so the dulcimer would slip through the arms. I'll have to do a bit more searching.......

Thanks again for the photos, I' have a much better idea of what I'm after now!!

Here's some pics:

Thanks Phil. None of my guitar stands fit.......do you have a pic by chance?

Hey CJ, I use a guitar stand-the kind that doesn't have an upper part.It adjusts to fit any dulcimer or guitar. Our friend Dave-O uses guitar stands with the upper part but he modifys them to fit his MMD's (which he has many of)

Hello,

Does anyone know who might build a stand that will fit a Modern Mountain Dulcimer?? I emailed David McKinney a couple times (maker of MMD) but he doesn't respond. I thought perhaps one of you who owns this instrument may have a stand that fits. My current stand holds every size except the MMD :(

Thanks!
