   FACT: MMD does not recommend or endorse the use of double melody courses. We find them unnecessary.


Appalachian Model:

Walnut body and resonator back, two soundboards, one Spruce and one Palonia, high ratio gold or chrome machines, Ebony or Rosewood overlay.

Note: MMD generally recommends the standard Appalachian for its great balance of high, medium and low. For those who prefer a brighter, clearer, happier, more traditional sound, two Spruce soundboards are available. For those who prefer a stronger and plunkier sound, two Palonia soundboards are available.
Price:  $660.00

Appalachian Dulcimer

The DREAM:

Walnut top, sides and back with a low density bottom soundboard, high ratio chrome or gold machines.

Note: The MMD DREAM is a dulcimer different from others currently available in the dulcimer market. It projects sound outward rather than upward into the player's ear. This allows the player to hear precisely what everyone else hears. For this reason, MMD recommends DREAM dulcimers only for more experienced players, because new and intermediate players generally find it helpful to hear themselves better than others in the group.
Price:  $660.00

As David often says "Live your dream awake!"

FACT: A baritone can be restrung as a standard (D) alto dulcimer. A standard dulcimer cannot be restrung as a baritone. The baritone has heavier bracing.
