Build your own Appalachian mountain dulcimer.

The mountain dulcimer is one of the easiest string instruments to play — and with this kit, it’s just as easy to build. In about an hour, with a screwdriver and glue, you’ll have a real, playable 4-string lap dulcimer.

Cherry pre-fretted neck · laser-cut Baltic birch body · no cutting, drilling, or clamps.

What’s in the kit

  • Fretted cherry neck — 24.75" scale, 16 frets (includes 6½ and 13½)
  • Laser-cut, box-jointed Baltic birch body (press-fit)
  • 4 tuners + mounting hardware
  • 4 strings (double melody for a fuller sound)
  • Zero fret for low action
  • ABS plastic saddle
  • Printed instructions + pick

Finish it your way — stain, paint, markers, oil, or clear coat. Kits ship as unfinished wood. Painted instruments in photos are for inspiration only.

Proudly made in the USA.

Video assembly instructions are on the DIY Dulcimer Kits collection page (and linked in the printed manual).

After building our two diy kits we needed cases for them. I saw Jaromins had cases for their boondocker guitars, So I went online and asked " a very interesting question" according to Patrick at Jaromin. Would the DIY kits fit the boondocker case. " Let me go back and check" was his response. So short story long, YES! They fit. Snug as a bug in a rug you would say. These will be perfect and a very reasonable price. The cases are well made and will be welcome protection on our trip to the blue ridge area this summer, I also picked up two of the boondocker straps ( with the pick holders) and with an addition of a guitar strap button these fit the DIY dulcimers very well. Thanks Jaromin and Patrick for your extremely fast shipping and customer service.

Lots of fun, perfect for car camping/rving. Easy to put together. This is my second one and I got it with a chromatic scale.
