The Mountain Dulcimer is America’s Original Instrument. Born 200 years ago in the Appalachian Mountains, its strings sing the stories of mountain settlers who crafted it. While it is a relative of the European zither, it is purely American. There is only one Mountain Dulcimer.
This front porch instrument breathes the air of the mountains, sings the songs of the hill people, and evokes the same age-old emotions. Come celebrate with me the Appalachian Dulcimer’s sweet expression, haunting drone, and power to gather people together.
