Welcome
... to the world ... of the
Hammer Dulcimer!
At
"Song of the Wood"
... we "specialize" in
the
Hammer Dulcimer!
Whether you are
looking for the first one ... or the last one you'll ever own ...
I hope we can help you make a reliable decision. At
our Showroom
in beautiful Black
Mountain, North Carolina
you can compare and contrast
up to 25 different models
(at present)
from at least 6 different manufacturers or builders. We carry 2
1/2 Octave Diatonic models all the way up to 4 1/2 Octave Chromatic
models ... with prices ranging from $250 to $3000. Can you believe
... in 1905 you could purchase one through Sears for $16.00. As I
used to say when Lisa and I would perform ... "they've gone up." When you leave
our Showroom ... our desire is that you will be confident you have chosen the right instrument
for YOU! With
over 30 years of
experience ... our
goal is to educate, illuminate and be of service to each and every
customer that graces our door. We appreciate you ... even if you
can't quite figure out why we do this "dulcimer" stuff.
Come experience the magic
of one the world's most ancient musical instruments.
But ... Beware ... this instrument is not for everyone ... caution ...
it can be hazardous to your mental health ... believe me ... just ask my
mom!
