Banjo Style Dulcimer

The Applecreek Banjo Style Dulcimer offers a fun and innovative take on the classic lap-style mountain dulcimer. Featuring diatonically spaced frets—like the white keys of a piano—it’s an easy-to-play melodic instrument that welcomes both beginners and seasoned folk players.

Unlike traditional dulcimers, this model is played like a guitar, making it instantly approachable for anyone familiar with stringed instruments. Its teardrop-shaped body and spruce soundboard deliver warm, resonant tones, while the floating bridge adds a touch of banjo-like twang for a distinctive, lively voice.

Lightweight, portable, and endlessly musical, the Applecreek Banjo Dulcimer supports a variety of tunings, with D-A-D-D recommended for simple one-finger chords and easy melodic exploration. Perfect for folk enthusiasts, songwriters, and anyone looking to add a new sound to their collection.
