Description

McNeela Mountain Dulcimer

“Love it. Easy to tune and play!” - Douglas K.

The McNeela Mountain Dulcimer is a lap-play instrument deeply rooted in Appalachian tradition. One of North America’s most charming instruments, it makes playing authentic folk music delightfully easy.

Built with a spruce body and four steel strings, it produces a warm, rich voice that blends seamlessly with other folk instruments or plays beautifully all on its own. Plus, the helpful diatonic fret layout keeps things simple so you can focus on the music.

Whether you’re strumming chords, picking out melodies, or experimenting with a ‘noter’ stick for that traditional Appalachian playing style and drone effect, you’ll be playing toe-tapping tunes with confidence.

Easy to learn and with a truly unique sound, it packs plenty of charm for beginners through seasoned players.
