MICHIGAN LIGHTNING DULCIMERS

NO TRADITIONS! – I make what I want to hear.

This is a temporary page. It shows a small sample of the instruments that I have built. I don’t do custom work, but I do offer what I have made for sale. To contact me regarding anything on this page or my current project, e-mail: bergmatt@yahoo.com.

Current Inventory:

SUN-MOON-STARS: $299 + shipping

DAdd 37”long 2” deep 7.75” major bout 6.5” minor bout

Although the upper bout is larger on one side then the other, this is a rich sounding instrument. The size may put it in the baritone dulcimer class, but it is tuned Dadd

TEARDROP BASS: $199 + shipping

DAd 40” long 7.5” wide 1.875” deep

Three string bass tuned to DAd. I chose to keep standard tuning so that any dulcimer player could easily pick it up. If you want to add a bass voice to your jam, or want to start playing backup to those guitar players in your group, this is your instrument.

DOUBLE STAR (Used): $129 + shipping

DAdd 33.5” long 1.75” deep 7”major bout 6.5” minor bout

Featuring 1+ 6+ 7+ 13+ frets, this instrument is built with no internal bracing to be as light as possible. This gives the instrument a much longer sustain.

All instruments made of solid wood, no laminates. My primary woods are long grain pine and red oak.
