Celebrating 150 years! Originating in Knott County as early as 1871, the dulcimers of James Edward Thomas were unlike anything ever seen on the Cumberland frontier. An elegant, slender, three-stringed instrument; its lightness and angelic tone informed 20th century folk music from Jean to Joni. This icon is now available again, lovingly reproduced by mountain people with Appalachian tonewoods at our Hindman shop.
The ED-1 is a slightly modernized version of the original Uncle Ed Mountain Dulcimers. Featuring Wittner Finetune Geared tuners, which have the look and feel of a traditional tuning peg, but engineered with an internal 4:1 planetary gear giving a tremendous advantage in tuning ease and accuracy. Traditional French polish finish. Handmade green carrying bag included.
