Case is highly recommended for shipping, but price can be adjusted if you don't wish to purchase a case. See other custom options below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe D45 provides the dulcimer enthusiast with three octaves of sparkling, clean and balanced sound in a 16 treble and 15 bass course configuration. As an extra enhancement, we've inserted three upper chromatic notes to extend the chromatic range to more than two octaves - a very useful feature that increases the versatility of the instrument. Made entirely of solid wood, this dulcimer has a deep bass that blends beautifully with its clear, even treble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe D45 was designed to be fitted with dampers, which are a sustain control device that allow a wide range of tonal effects, from the rich and complex natural voice of the undamped strings to a wonderful, wholly muted marimba-like tone with no sustain. The dampers on the D45 can be installed when the instrument is built, or easily added later by the player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombining a rich, full sound, versatility and solid-wood elegance in a mid-sized and mid-priced instrument, the D45 will be a delight for any dulcimer player, from beginning to advanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text-block-9 w-richtext\"\u003e\n\u003cul role=\"list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 octaves\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolid sapele soundboard and back\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraditional 5th-interval tuning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16\/15 configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ds-hd-config ds-hd-config-16-15\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-hd-config-included\"\u003eThe D45 comes with a gooseneck tuning wrench, double-sided oval hammers, and note guide strips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-hd-config-included\"\u003eShipping is $150 within the continental US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-hd-config-included\"\u003eOther options that can be special-ordered (inquire for pricing):\u003cbr\u003e- Black soundboard with binding \u0026amp; purfling\u003cbr\u003e- Abalone inlay\u003cbr\u003e- Dampers installed\u003cbr\u003e- Electronic pickup installed\u003cbr\u003e- Tristander or Flatstander installed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dusty Strings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41572198187066,"sku":"DUSTYSTRINGSD45+C45","price":1760.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/8813\/files\/61b79cf9e062dc7d0832631a_D45-1-p-1600.jpg?v=1785511687","url":"https:\/\/hmtrad.com\/products\/dusty-strings-d45-hammered-dulcimer","provider":"House of Musical Traditions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
