Hammers
I
believe that a set of hammers is a lot
like a pair of shoes. You need the pair that feels just right for you ...
it can make all the difference. For these it is definitely best to visit
our showroom in person ... but we will work with you over the phone and by post too!

the best we can!
Hammer Dulcimer Stands
We carry several types of
stands, to try and match different players' preferences. Some are fully adjustable,
in which both the
height and playing angle of the Dulcimer can be changed. (left) They
can be adjusted to a wide variety of positions for playing while either standing
or sitting.
Others are simpler, with the height and
angle fixed in a position that is suitable
for most players, (although individual preferences do vary). 
The fixed types come in
different heights for standing or sitting. All are made of various hardwoods from maple to ash to black
walnut.
The most compact and lightweight are the Dusty Strings "scissor" type stands. (right) They have a rope across the top, and fold up quite small.
The best thing to do is to call us at the showroom and see what we have that might best suit your needs. We are constantly getting new and different models.

Electronic Tuner
Probably
your most valuable piece of equipment next to the Dulcimer itself is a reliable
battery powered chromatic tuner. With the "alligator tuning clip"
you can even tune in a noisy room. This Korg automatic chromatic tuner is one of
the smallest and lightest we've seen. By automatic we mean that you strike
a note on the instrument and the tuner will tell you which note it is and
exactly where it is in relation to the pitch you've calibrated. You can
adjust the pitch calibration either above or below A440 (concert standard) to
enable to "quick tune" the instrument to itself rather than totally retune.
It has an LCD display and the ability to make a sound, so you can tune to it by
ear. You know ... we used to carry several different models of
battery powered tuners but everyone around here clearly thought this one was the
best of them all. It's reliable, accurate and a fantastic value for the
price.

Padded Cordura Nylon Cases
We carry
two "Song of the Wood" cases at this point. Unfortunately the American
company that used to make them for us has gone out of business. We now
have to get them from China!
They come with hand-loops, a shoulder strap and
a zippered accessories pocket.
They are very light but provide convenient protection and ease of transport.

These are prices for our own custom made cases, with the Song of the Wood logo. We also carry cases from other makers, so sometimes we have more than one choice to fit a given dulcimer. Prices for other cases may not be the same as ours, but they're usually not too far off.
*Note: If your dulcimer isn't one of the models we make or carry, you'll
need to measure it so we can determine which case will work. We'll need the
width at the bottom rail, the width at the top
rail, the distance between the top and bottom rails
(straight down the middle of the soundboard), and the thickness
(including the bridges). We'll also need to know if it's asymmetrical, and if it
has any handles or other protrusions that might affect the fit.
