Hammers: I am not taking orders for custom hammers at this time and have no plans to take custom orders in the near future. When I have hammers available, they will be listed on this website. Subscribe to my email list to be notified of sales.
I love a good clip on tuner for festivals and busy places, but no tuner works as well as my iPhone app for real “fine” tuning. This is a device that hooks onto your strings and can hold your phone, tuner, or metronome. Convenient when tuning, so you don’t have to keep turning your head or find a place to wedge the phone. Great for keeping a metronome front and center while you practice. It’s easy to move around. It has a non-slip rubber pad on the front and back to keep it from vibrating and hold your phone in place. Works with your phone landscape or portrait mode.
I would not recommend using it for a heavy tablet.
This 9/8 model hammered dulcimer features a natural cherry soundboard, maple pinblocks and bridges, and Snowflake sound hole inlays. Optimal cuteness guaranteed!
At approximately 1:12 scale, this ornament is made by hand and includes all the details you’d expect in a miniature hammered dulcimer. Each tuning pin is placed by hand and the entire instrument is finished with lacquer and strung for authenticity. It measures about 4.5” x 2”.
*This miniature dulcimer is an ornamental replica and does not play music.
ALL Ornaments are shipped with a stand and hammers for display year round.
Hammered Dulcimer Duets by national hammered dulcimer champions, Katie Moritz (2013) & Lisa Ferguson (2009). Featuring percussion by Stephen Humphries and steel pan by Mike Schwebke.
Recorded and engineered by Stephen Seifert
This is a hard-copy of the CD that will be sent to you.
Sample the sound below.
This is a large wheel-thrown vessel with three feet. 8” wide by 3” deep. There is a tiny flaw at the very center. It’s a small crack that does not go all thr way through the floor, but could possibly cause leaking. It’s small and difficult to see in photos. I would not use this for food. It would make a pretty succulent planter, or just a nice vessel for holding your keys or trinkets.
This is a large wheel-thrown vessel 12"” wide. There is a flaw on the under-side that does not go through the entire bowl or effect the appearance or function. The bowl is food safe but I would not put in the dishwasher because of the crack on the back.
This stoneware mug is wheel-thrown. Mugs hold 12-16 ounces. They are dishwasher safe. The medallion is carefully stamped with a celtic dulcimer design I created.
This set of small-ish plates is made from brown speckled clay. Food safe. Dishwasher Safe.
