There is a real need for an affordable yet durable and good sounding hammered dulcimer. Many, many folks would like to try the hammered dulcimer, but don’t want to commit a lot of money on something they don’t know will work for them. Or they want a really nice gift for a musical relative or friend. The 13/12 Chickadee fills that need very well. It is durable enough that it should last into the next century, and light enough to easily carry around. Includes dulcimer, hammers and tuning wrench.
