This brand new dulcimer by Applecreek is a traditional teardrop style and comes with the Applecreek Dulcimer Music Book for beginners and a pick. This handcrafted instrument is made of fine woods by experienced European luthiers. Made in Romania. This dulcimer is fun to own, easy to play, and with proper care should last a lifetime. It is the perfect instrument for the beginner or any musician who just loves its unique sound. The Applecreek dulcimer carrying bag for this model, AC50, is available in my other listings. When purchased with this instrument it ships for free.
