The Ultralight is a design Russell Cook started in 1983 after watching an older couple attempt to load their large 45 pound hammer dulcimer into the trunk of their automobile. After decades of fine tuning, Master Works has managed to get the weight of this cutting-edge instrument down to approximately 11 pounds!
This performance-quality hammer dulcimer includes a Sipo soundboard, Morado bridges, Maple pinblocks, and Cherry or Walnut endrails.
The Ultralight includes these features:
- Curly maple endrails. It has a mahogany soundboard and rosewood bridges.
- Choice tapered soundboard to improve vibration and response as well as reduce weight
- Precisely designed pinblocks to reduce weight
- Solid Alder back to improve sound quality and reduce weight
- Wound strings on lower courses
- Includes Stand
Price: $800.00
