Spalted Maple Dulcimer Guitar

02/14/2023

This instrument is made of variety of woods but the one I like most is the spalted maple front and finger board. Fungus is what makes the color and streaks in the maple. It is played like a dulcimer but fingered like a guitar and produces a unique calming tone. Play the video to hear it.

This is the back of the guitar. The walnut is from a beam that I salvaged from a store front downtown Leavenworth 35 years ago.
