Simply the Best for Classroom Music!
I use this model to teach approximately 130-150 students in 6th grade music each year.When I ordered them from David (owner of Backyard Music) he was extremely helpful, even including teaching pointers!

My models came completely assembled, included picks, Easy as 1,2,3 dulcimer book, noters, and extra sets of strings.Each was packed in it's own plastic rain bag in which it still resides.

The dulcimers are easy to play, have a really good sound, and are very easy to fix if someone breaks a string, removes a bridge, or plays with the tuning gear.The 250 lb cardboard soundbox is a better resonator than cheap plywood dulcimers, too.I have a 'better' spruce wood model from a reputable company, but I'd rather play my Simplicity.For classroom use, it's the best!

At first I was disappointed that it did not have a 6-1/2 fret, but that would really confuse my students.They only get to play these once a week, and it's amazing how quickly they learn to play beautifully.

My students have been using them for 3 years now, and have had no problems with the dulcimers themselves.The soundboxes hold up well, the strings stay in tune fairly well (weather is not friendly to us here), and the tuning gear holds together well.I recommend this product to anyone who wants a good beginner dulcimer at a good price, customer support, and quality workmanship. ...

Product Description

The 29 1/4" fret scale combined with heavier string gauges give the FolkRoots Baritone an incredibly rich sound. Tuned "A" "E" "A", a fifth lower than standard dulcimer tuning, this tuning gives the dulcimer a lower sound register perfect for solo, ensemble, and accompaniment playing. The baritone models feature "guitar-style" pegheads with sealed gear tuning pegs, 1 1/2" wide fingerboards with exotic wood overlays, Corian nuts and bridges cut for traditional and equidistant string spacing, two-piece book-matched backs with center inlay, and decorative heelcap. Includes Wenge (dark brown) Fingerboard Overlay and a Traditional Heart Soundhole.
