The soundboard of this SPALTED POPLAR hammered dulcimer is uniquely grained with many streaks of various sizes and color tone. This instrument is for the person who dances to a different drummer and wants something different.
The back is Baltic birch and the sides are maple with a few small worm holes of the right side.
The sound is pleasing, not too loud though it does have some overtones and sustain.
You will have an interesting instrument to look at while playing!
