Dusty Strings D25-B hammered dulcimer and accessories ($650 OBO)

This full-sized hammered dulcimer had one owner, who used it to play Christmas carols once a year. It is solid wood with a black lacquer finish on the soundboard (hence the “B” in D25-B), and sounds lovely. The range is 15/14, and the folks at Dusty Strings confirmed that while the D25 is no longer made, it is similar to the D45 in sound and size, and shared this string chart for reference. The tag inside shows 10/5/1987 as the “birthdate,” and even bears the signatures of the instrument’s artisans, for some extra authenticity! 

The instrument comes with a zippered soft case, two sets of hammers, several tuning rods, and a folding solid wood instrument stand. All are in great condition. 

Located in Staunton, willing to travel a few hours for an in-person transaction. Please email Andrew at araridon@gmail.com with questions or more information.
