A unique take on the mountain dulcimer to give it a bigger sound with a lot more bass tones! See Gold Tone description below. This one has a little yellowing around the soundhole, so it will save you some money! I took a close up so you can see. It is slight but it is there.Here is a video of this unique instrument being played: https://youtu.be/MLvedQnRA5M **This is Folk Fest Stock! I offered these instruments at an outdoor music festival and they were played and enjoyed but Fest-goers, but I was very careful to make sure they were taken care of and not abused. This was a booth tucked away, so most of these instruments were not over-ly played. But the cool thing is, anything that did not sell there, I am selling here at a discount due to them being played at a Fest! That being said, most of these do not have any more wear above and beyond what instruments normally get while hanging on the wall at the local music shop. I will inspect, quality check, and play every instrument before it goes out to make sure you are getting a top-notch quality product! I just wanted to make sure you were aware why these are discounted! **This particular model will most likely need new strings soon due to the oxidation of steel strings. But they still have some good play in then and I would much rather you pick out your favorite strings and give you a discount on the instrument!
From the Gold Tone Website:Gold Tone co-owner Robyn Rogers is a gifted Appalachian dulcimer player. She wanted to offer her fellow strummers something unique: a mountain dulcimer that could hold its own with the other instruments in a playing session. Robyn and Wayne Rogers looked to Gold Tone's Weissenborn guitar as a possible platform upon which to build this totally new kind of dulcimer. Thus, the Dulciborn was born! The huge air chamber of the Weissenborn's design includes the neck of the instrument, which is hollow. Because of the light string pull common to dulcimers, the braces under the Dulciborn's solid spruce top could be lightened to increase the sensitivity and volume of the instrument and the pin-type bridge energizes the top more vigorously. As a result, the Gold Tone Dulciborn is louder and has better bass response than any conventional hourglass-shaped cherry wood or mahogany dulcimer. Even if you already own an Appalachian dulcimer, you need a Dulciborn! Mass produced ukuleles come with "factory settings". There is no time to set the uke up for the individual buyer. Often they err on the side of high-action (strings are high over the fretboard) . I take personal time with each uke I sell. All ukes get a nut and saddle adjustment. They are also checked for fret buzzes, intonation problems, and other issues that can be resolved in the set-up process. The action is lowered to an ideal and comfortable level. You can feel the difference between a non-set up uke and a uke that has been through the "Mim Set Up Process". I have repeat customers world-wide because I have worked hard to have the reputation that a uke from Mim is going to be "right". The set-up process can cost a lot through your local luthier and often they do not know the specifics that go into a good uke set-up. I only sell ukuleles, so my set-ups are custom tailored to your uke, the brand of uke you purchase, and the uke size. If you need a uke set-up Low G, or Lefty, let me know. I can do that for you... no charge! I set up the uke for YOU the buyer and ukulele player!
