This custom hammered dulcimer was created in response to a desire for a particular combination of woods and a unique sound hole design. The dulcimer has a redwood sound board stained mahogany, lacewood frame and pin panels with sycamore trim and cherry bridges.
James Jones Instruments
I have been building fine custom musical instruments since 1978 in rural Bedford, Virginia. Working alone in a wood shop I designed and built, I have developed designs for ten different acoustic instruments including Hammered Dulcimers, Appalachian Dulcimers, Celtic Harps, Irish Bouzoukis, Guitars, Mandolins, Bowed Psalteries, Zithers, Thumb Pianos and Slit Drums. Each of these instruments can be customized.
