This lap, Appalachian dulcimer was fun to play. No sharps or flats, but open tune, two lower strings and a course of two for the melody.

Appalachian Dulcimer (Spring 1981)
| Featuring hard curly maple sides and back, sitka spruce top, rosewood fingerboard and three piece maple, walnut head. This is a practice piece, my first instrument, built under study with the Northwest School of Instrument Design. The four string instrument has sexy curves and easy to play. Two lower strings and then a course of two for the melody. Strum away! This is all I have in pictures. The instrument went the way of traditional Appalachia. I made it a gift to a fiance. Not sure where either of them are today. Thanks and Enjoy, Chuck. January 2015.(Email me here) |
| Appalachian (Lap) Dulcimer built in Ballard, Seattle, Washington by Chuck DeHart. His first instrument designed and built under study in 1980-1981. |
