BLUE STAR LAPBLASTER ELECTRIC LAP DULCIMER
Photo
Mountain music meets the space age! Solid body lap dulcimer with the famous Blue Star finish. Carpeted back and sides for non-slip comfort. Single humbucking pickup, volume and tone controls, strung with three strings instead of four. Get out of the wheatfield, Mabel, you're going against the grain! This is an interesting addition to any musician's repertoire of instruments.

CIGAR BOX DULCIMER
Photo
Cigar box stringed instruments date back to the mid-19th century and are typically comprised of an empty wooden cigar box with a chunk of broom handle running through the box and 1-3 strings. They have persisted through the years and presently there is something of a revival going on. Now the realm expands to the dulcimer. These are meant to be played guitar style as opposed to lap style. If you prefer to play lap style, simply reverse the strings. The instruments we offer here are made in Michigan using a variety of wooden cigar boxes. The necks, while still very rudimentary, are more "sophisticated" than a chunk of broomstick, being fretted, having position markers & actual tuning machines, and a machine screw for the nut. The bridge floats on the top. Of particular note is that all have a built-in transducer with 1/4" jack or an electromagnetic pickup with volume & tone controls & 1/4" jack, so you can "plug-in." While essentially the same from a functional and sound perspective, no two instruments are identical from a cosmetic perspective; they derive that personality from the particular cigar box utilized. So have at it. We are pleased to be able to offer these instruments.
