This is one of my baritone dulcimers. It is made of cherry with a Sitka spruce soundboard and an ebony overlay on the fret board.

It has 1/4" Mother of Pearl fret markers and crying heart sound holes. It has Schaller gold plated dulcimer tuners.

Here is a close up of the scroll type peg head with the Schaller tuners. The zero fret is visible and also a gold plated strap button.

Here is a close-up of the tail block. I use solid brass escutcheon pins for the string anchors.

It has 1/4" Mother of Pearl fret markers and crying heart sound holes. It has Schaller gold plated dulcimer tuners. It is my standard 26 29/32" string length and the sound box is 3" deep.

This particular block has a small piece of walnut down the center and the cherry is matched on each side of the block. You can see the ebony overlay on the fret board. The bridge and nut are made of Micarta.
