"SF" Seagull Merlin M4, Mahogany Top (Factory Second)

PRODUCT NOTICE: This is a "Factory Second" (SF) listing. **

The Seagull Merlin M4 Series dulcimer guitars are great instruments for beginners and accomplished travelers alike!  The Merlin's wider neck and shorter body length make it a great learning tool for younger hands, while their sturdy construction makes them perfect for the traveling musician in you.

It ships tuned to D (DADD), but could easily be tuned up or down by a whole step if needed. 

The Merlin line typically projects more natural sound volume than many stick dulcimers, due to its larger body construction (soundhole / sound cavity), and 4th string. And where the traditional pickin' stick style often sounds more like a banjo or mandolin, the Merlin is more similar to a guitar.

The Merlin M4 ships tuned to D (DADD), but could easily be tuned up or down by a whole step if needed. (NOTE: tuning to G is not an option without replacing strings and modifying the bridge. If you're looking for a Seagull Merlin G Dulcimer, check them out.)
