Description
Introducing the “Boondocker.” This is a 3-course, 4-string acoustic walking dulcimer or “dulcitar” that anyone can play! Typically tuned to D-A-D, you can play tabs designed for the traditional appalachian mountain dulcimer, though played liked a guitar. The diatonic fretboard and open tuning mean you can’t play a bad note.
The mahogany version is crafted of solid mahogany, with a 1/8″ mahogany top. Features a Katalox bridge with a corian saddle. Finished with several coats of clear laquer.
Perfect for new players and pros alike – these are just a ton of fun to play. And their small size and weight make them very easy to bring to the beach, the woods, the backyard, or just noodle on it right at home.
Default option is “DAD” with 24w-16-12-12 strings. Can also be ordered in the lower “GDG” tuning with heavier wound strings 46w-32w-10-24w. We typically stock the standard “D” tuned Boondockers. Please allow up to 5 business days for a custom “G” model (though can typically ship faster).
The package includes the Boondocker and a pick.

I absolutely love my new Mahogany Boondocker. It sounds as beautiful as it look. I ordered it with G tuning so I could play in a Cigar Box Guitar group at my local senior center. It shipped out the morning after I ordered it. The craftsmanship of this little instrument is top notch!
