Unique Innovation- Fret Play system
The benefits of Fret Play:
Options; Gives you the player the option of playing standard, baritone, bass and chromatic all on one dulcimer.
Versatility in Tuning; Switch fretboards easily to access different tunings (e.g. DAD, DAA or Chromatic) without retuning, enabling quick adaption to various genres; folk, bluegrass, classical, jazz or good ole rock n’ roll.
Lower initial cost; Our single dulcimer body with interchangeable fretboards cost significantly less than multiple full dulcimers, saving you hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of dollars.
Convenience; Offers the option of just playing the fret board to practice at work on a break, in the park or wherever your favorite practice place is. Being smaller than the dulcimer, its more convenient to travel with.
*Fret Play System Patent Pending*
We are honored that our dulcimer, featuring its innovative fretboard design, was showcased by nationally touring solo performer Bing Futch on his acclaimed YouTube series, Dulcimerica. Check out the video to see our instrument in action and hear what makes it truly stand out!
“Gamechanger!” “Amazing Sound!”
“Functionally, its super wild, super practical, but on top of that it sounds great!” Bing Futch
