These are true Hand-carved  Hammered Dulcimer Hammers that are only 5 5/8" long which are also fitted with Sterling Silver earring wires, fashioned in place with 2-0 Surgical Stainless Steel Sutures drilled horizontally through the heels of the grip. They are functional hammers and they are fashionable earrings.

     In this case, I am embracing individualism and creativity by offering a MIXED pair: as you can see, one earing is Curly Maple and the other is a pretty Black Walnut.  Both earrings function fully as dangling earrings and as Dulcimer Hammers.

     Perhaps a bit smaller than any hammers you have ever hammered with, you can also wear them as jewelry to show your passion for the instrument. You can now wear your hammers as accessories to the festival, remove them, play till your heart's content, then wear them home. 

     As  jewelry, I have never seen anything like this before - or even advertised anywhere before.  As  musical accessories, they are fully functional, though shorter than 'normal'.

     But they CAN be played, perhaps best on a smaller instrument with only 2 strings per note, or perhaps on a Psaltery, or even a lap harp.  With contrasting leathers glued on, they will make a soft, muted, quiet sound.  These will arrive with opposite- colored leather glued on,  so that even the leathers are unfettered.

     I will offer these for sale at a single, reasonable price.  If you are as interested or as independant-minded as I think ( or hope ) you are, go ahead and buy.  

     I have made several sets of these earring hammers, ranging from 3 1/2 inches to 6 inches.  All my earring hammers will have Sterling Silver ear wires.  A care and use guide will also be included, as well as a spare set of earring wires.

     Thanks for looking.
