Masterworks Model 16-15 and 16-15C Hammered Dulcimer

The Masterworks Ultralight hammer dulcimer is a professional quality instrument with a voice that has to be experienced to be fully appreciated. It has 16 treble courses and 15 bass courses of 2 strings per course providing 1-1/2 chromatic octaves in the center of the instrument and over 3 octaves top to bottom yet it weighs a very portable 14 pounds (varies slightly with different types of wood used in the endrails).

The Ultralight is available in two models - the standard diatonic model 16-15 and the full chromatic 16-15C. Custom endrails include Curly Maple, Curly Walnut, Curly Cherry. Exotic endrail choices are Figured Birch, Padauk, Zebrawood, Koa, Bubinga and Bird's-eye Maple. Bindings are available in either Curly Maple, Dark Walnut or Cherry. For those desiring a darker soundboard, we offer Red or Brown Mahogany stains (maintains a natural but much darker look under the strings).

***Please note that custom options and wood variations will change the cost of each dulcimer.
