Introducing the Boondocker D2 – Enhanced for Superior Sound and Effortless Playability! The Boondocker D2 is a 3-course, 4-string acoustic walking dulcimer (or dulcimer guitar) that elevates the experience for both new players and seasoned musicians. Like its predecessor, it’s typically tuned to D-A-D, allowing you to play tabs designed for the traditional Appalachian mountain dulcimer but with the familiar feel of a guitar. Thanks to the diatonic fretboard and open tuning, every note you play sounds beautiful, making it nearly impossible to hit a wrong note. Upgraded Features of the D2 Model:
  • A deeper body for added resonance and volume, giving the D2 a fuller, richer sound that projects beautifully.
  • A thinner neck for improved playability and comfort, making it easier to handle for extended playing sessions.
  • Separate string holes for melody strings, making string changes faster and more convenient.
  • The electric/acoustic version includes a passive tone control, allowing you to finely adjust the tone when plugged into an amplifier for even greater sound customization.
The Sapele Mahogany version is crafted from solid Sapele with a 1/8" Sapele top, featuring our signature Henna-inspired engraved design. The Rosewood bridge with a custom molded intonated acetal saddle adds to its clear, loud, and beautiful tone. Whether you’re playing alongside an acoustic guitar, cajon, or any other instrument, the D2 holds its own with a strong and vibrant sound. Finished with multiple coats of lacquer, the instrument is as durable as it is stunning. Compact and lightweight, the Boondocker D2 is the perfect companion for playing at the beach, in the woods, in your backyard, or simply noodling at home. It’s fun, portable, and designed for musicians of all skill levels to enjoy. Each package includes the Boondocker D2 and a pick, so you’re ready to start playing right out of the box!

Once again Jaromin Guitars have exceeded my expectations with the quality and tone of this amazing instrument. As an avid Boondocker convert and a super fan I can testify that once you pick this instrument up, you will find, just like I did, that it's super hard to put it down.

5 Stars all the way

I already had a Boondocker in DAD and a Merlin in GDG, but I wanted a Fancy dulcimer in GDG. Overall the Boondocker is much nicer than the Merlin, so I took another look at what Jaromin had to offer. The Boondocker Pro was close to what I had in mind, but I never use an amplifier and probably never will. I contacted Jaromin about doing a custon acoustic only Boondacker Pro in GDG with a single offset sound hole. I have to say, this instrument blows away the Merlin in every way. The more I use it, the more I like it. I am only giving it 5 stars because there is no 10.

I am extremely pleased with my electric/acoustic Boondocker. Especially as a ukulele player already, it has been easy to start playing right away (and with the diatonic fretboard, I expect that this instrument would be as easy as any stringed instrument could be for a complete beginner to pick up and start playing).

Most important, the Boondocker sounds terrific. Indeed, even though it definitely is a dulcimer in tone and spirit, my partner prefers the Boondocker's somewhat more laid-back and “melodic” (as she put it) sound over that of my traditional (and much larger) lap mountain dulcimer!

I don’t know anyone in the market for a stick dulcimer at the moment, but if I ever do, I won’t hesitate to recommend Jaromin Guitars.

Being a dulcimer player for years I found myself wanting a dulcimer I could play while standing so I purchased this Boondocker. I will honestly say that Jaromin Guitars did not disappoint and the instrument is fantastic. It looks and sounds awesome! Thanks for making such a quality instrument.
