This instrument is perfect for beginners or traveling musicians. You can carry it with you to play in the park, on a picnic or cozied up in your room! It is a little over three feet wide, a foot tall and weighs about 12 pounds.

Traveler is a 13/12 dulcimer, meaning there are 13 courses of strings on the middle bridge and 12 courses on the right bass bridge. This gives you one and a half octaves in several keys. This instrument is tuned diatonically and is great for beautiful modal tunes.

If you are thinking of getting an instrument for a child, (3+ advised) this is the one. Start the little one off with an instrument they can grow into. The motion of striking a surface with a stick (think pots and pans) is natural and why not make music out of it! The tuning of this instrument allows for more melodious bashing than most. The laminated Birch top is very sturdy and durable, just don’t stand on it?

Finished off with a TLV medallion for the sound hole cover. (not shown in photos with red curtain, that was an earlier version.)
