Welcome to Wildwood Mountain Dulcimers, where treasured tradition and innovation meet! Our fully interchangeable fretboards allow you to switch from classic diatonic to fully chromatic, bass or baritone in seconds, all on the same beautiful instrument!
Our classic mountain dulcimer blends traditional character with innovative craftsmanship, from our one of kind Fret Play system to integrating advanced building techniques inspired by guitar and violin building.
We’ve worked to preserve the familiar sweet, mellow tone that defines the mountain dulcimer, while also enhancing the familiar tones with fresh new resonance.
We’re excited for you all to discover the joy of playing our one of kind, versatile WildWood Mountain Dulcimer!
Unique Innovation- Fret Play system
The benefits of Fret Play:
Options; Gives you the player the option of playing standard, baritone, bass and chromatic all on one dulcimer.
Versatility in Tuning; Switch fretboards easily to access different tunings (e.g. DAD, DAA or Chromatic) without retuning, enabling quick adaption to various genres; folk, bluegrass, classical, jazz or good ole rock n’ roll.
Lower initial cost; Our single dulcimer body with interchangeable fretboards cost significantly less than multiple full dulcimers, saving you hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of dollars.
Convenience; Offers the option of just playing the fret board to practice at work on a break, in the park or wherever your favorite practice place is. Being smaller than the dulcimer, its more convenient to travel with.
