These A- Non-Figured mountain dulcimer tops are produced from the finest tonewood fiber available globally. Each soundboard is procured from salvage-sourced old-growth Sitka Spruce with minimum dimensions of 4″ x 32″. Please specify your design type (tear drop or hour glass) and dimensions in the comments section of your order, or indicate if you’re using the material for instrument sides.
Enhanced Resonance for Your Mountain Dulcimer Soundboard
The exceptional acoustic characteristics of this old-growth Sitka Spruce derive from centuries of natural maturation in northern forests. Timber aged for hundreds of years develops an unparalleled stiffness-to-weight ratio, essential for superior sound projection and dynamic range in mountain dulcimer construction. This natural aging creates wood fibers with enhanced resonant properties, yielding a vibrant tone with authentic vintage character that plantation-grown alternatives cannot replicate. Build a mountain dulcimer with remarkable clarity, extended sustain, and the acoustic depth only reclaimed tonewood provides.
