Dusty Strings D45
The D45 provides the dulcimer enthusiast with three octaves of sparkling, clean, and balanced sound in a 16 treble/15 bass course playing 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. Made entirely of solid woods, this dulcimer has a deep bass that blends beautifully with its clear, even treble. Patterned after the company's popular D35 model in look and sound, the D45's major difference is that it can be outfitted with dampers. this sustain control device creates 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 zero sustain. The dampers on the D45 can either be installed when the instrument is built, or very easily added late by the player. The D45 offers rich, full sound, overall versatility, and solid-wood elegance, all in a mid-priced instrument; a delight for any dulcimer player-from beginning to advanced-to own and play.

The package includes the D45, padded case, stand, two sets of hammers, instructional DVD, tuning wrench.
