Construction & Materials

Handcrafted in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, this McSpadden 3-string bass mountain dulcimer features a redwood soundboard paired with cherry back and sides. Redwood delivers a warm, open tone with excellent sustain, while cherry contributes a focused midrange presence and beautiful reddish warmth to the instrument's appearance. Three heart-shaped soundholes are cut into the body, a signature McSpadden detail that reflects the maker's Appalachian folk heritage. Strap buttons are installed and matched to the tuning pegs for a cohesive, polished build.

Sound & Playability

Built as a 3-string dulcimer and tuned to D-A-D standard, this bass model features a 28 1/2 inch vibrating string length that produces a full, resonant bass voice suited for ensemble play and deeper tonal exploration. The bass fretboard includes a 1 1/2 fret in addition to the standard 6 1/2 and 13 1/2 frets, expanding harmonic range for adventurous players. The instrument can also be tuned to C-G-c for the Key of C or to D-G-d for a Key of G new Ionian pattern, offering versatility across folk and traditional styles.
