PRODUCT NOTICE: This is a "Factory Second" (SF) listing. **
The 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. (You might want a case, though!)
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.
