Making your own hammered dulcimer? We can help!
Our western red cedar hammered dulcimer soundboard stock is quartersawn using 2-3 pieces to make a top. You'll assemble these pieces to make a glue-up that you can use to build a hammered dulcimer (traditional trapezoid shape) that measures up to 42 inches wide and 18 inches high. Our soundboard material is just right for a finished product that ends up at 1/4 inch thick.
Using a cedar soundboard on your hammered dulcimer will tend to give you more sustain and resonance. It will also likely have a little more bass than all hardwood hammered dulcimers.
Our hammered dulcimer soundboard stock is shipped unassembled. You'll need to glue up the pieces before you cut out the back/soundboard for your instrument.
About Western Red Cedar: An evergreen tree found primarily in British Columbia, Canada, western red cedar is a very soft, lightweight wood. The softness of the wood leaves it vulnerable to accidental damage, especially scratches from picks and fingers. However, the unsurpassed beauty and superior tone quality of a red cedar soundboard make this one of our most popular tone woods.
