On request they can be set up in the Key of D to be used as a smaller standard dulcimer for players who have difficulty reaching positions on a standard size fretboard. The voice remains bright and clear whichever key is chosen. The standard setup is G-D-GG. Optional setups are G-D-DD, D-A-DD, and D-A-AA. Please contact us for optional setups other than D-A-DD. Included are 6 1/2 and 13 1/2 frets, When set up in Key of D a beginner instruction book is provided and for Key of G setups an extra set of strings is substituted for the book.   The dulcimer shown is an example of this model.  This incredible handcrafted instrument is built with pride, one at a time. The natural wood retains the character making it unique and is part of the story that makes this heirloom dulcimer one of a kind.  If you wish to customize your McSpadden Dulcimer choose from the options below!
