Richard Troughear Hand Crafted Appalachian Dulcimers

Here are some images and sound clips of recent dulcimers. All of these instruments are now sold, however I may have additional sets of the woods used. But keep in mind that every instrument has a unique sound even when made from “identical” wood. Click on the sound samples buttons to hear some short tunes for several of the instruments. These are typical of the sounds my dulcimers produce. (The clips were recorded directly into a PC via the sound card using a small microphone mounted near a sound hole and with no subsequent sound processing. A flat pick was used.)
