Folkcraft Baritone Dulcimer
Our baritone model is designed to be tuned to the key of 'A', a fifth lower than our standard dulcimers. The baritone dulcimer creates a rich and full sound in the lower ranges, while mellowing the higher ranges. Our baritone model has many options for you to choose from, making this instrument semi-custom and a great choice.
Back, Sides, Fingerboard, and Head

  
Creates a fat, mellow tone with great resonance. When played with force it tends to have a stronger 'punchy' sound

  
Creates a bright full sound that has slight ringing overtones
Soundboard

  
Creates a very mellow tone that resonates

  
Creates a bright full sound with a slight ring in the overtones

  
Creates a strong tone with powerful projection

  
Responsive and open, notes have a more 'signing' quality

  
Creates a bright and high midrange that projects with excellent separation of notes
Accent Wood
By choosing an accent wood, your dulcimer will have a fingerboard overlay, center inlay strip, and heel cap made from that wood.
