Description
Description
The Ozark Appalachian dulcimer 2139 is a lap‑style fretted zither in the Appalachian tradition, also called a mountain dulcimer. It’s designed to be easy to play, gentle on beginners, and expressive in folk and acoustic contexts.
Basic Specs
Body shape: Hourglass (traditional dulcimer form)
Top: Spruce laminated (bright, lively tone)
Back & sides: Maple laminate
Fingerboard: Maple laminate
Strings: Four (one double‑course melody plus two singles)
Tuners: Individual open machine heads (easy tuning)
Scale length: ~685 mm (comfortable for lap playing)
This layout and construction make it a traditional acoustic dulcimer with a soft, droning, melodic voice — perfect for folk, bluegrass, and gentle strumming or picking.
👍 Pros
🎶 Easy to Play & Learn
Appalachian dulcimers are known for their diatonic fretboards, which means there are fewer wrong notes — you can pick out tunes just by strumming the melody string against the drone strings. This makes them excellent for beginners and learners.
🎸 Comfortable for Many Players
Because the instrument lies flat on your lap and uses open tunings like DD‑G‑D, you don’t need complex left‑hand fingerings to make music. This can be very inviting if you’re new to fretted instruments.
🌲 Classic Folk Voice
The combination of spruce top and maple body delivers a clear, bright sound with warm midrange resonance, fitting well with storytelling and traditional folk tunes.
🔧 Simple Tuning
Individual tuners make tuning easier than older friction‑peg dulcimers, and the common D‑based tuning is familiar for many players.
💡 Good Value
At this price point, the Ozark design is frequently praised as an accessible and well‑made dulcimer for casual players or beginners that doesn’t cost as much as boutique‑made instruments.
👎 Cons
🔉 Laminate Build → Modest Projection
With a laminated spruce top and maple back/sides, it won’t project or resonate as richly as an all‑solid‑wood dulcimer — especially if you’re playing in larger acoustic ensembles without amplification.
