McSpadden Mountain Dulcimers from Memphis Dulcimer Gathering, Inc.

McSpadden Dulcimers has generously provided The Memphis Dulcimer Gathering, Inc., with four mountain dulcimers. The profits from the sale of these dulcimers will help support dulcimer and folk events in the Memphis area.

As many already know, I recommend the McSpadden dulcimer to beginning players who are looking for an instrument. There are many wonderful builders throughout the United States, but I recommend McSpadden for getting started for the following reasons:

-- McSpadden instruments are easy to acquire with little or no waiting, as the shop generally keeps many models in stock.

-- McSpadden instruments are of a consistent and high quality in terms of materials and workmanship.

-- McSpadden instruments have high-quality geared tuners which are helpful to new players. They hold their tune better which means less time trying to tune.

-- All models below include solid woods, book-matched top and back, geared tuners, well-padded soft-sided case, pick, noter, and instruction book.

All models shown below are available with either flat peghead or scroll peghead, and are also available in a teardrop shape.

And, remember: how many dulcimers do you need? Just one more!
