THE BOONDOCKER
Introducing “the Boondocker.” This is a 3-course, 4-string acoustic walking dulcimer, dulcimer guitar or “dulcitar” that anyone can play! Typically tuned to D-A-D, you can play tabs designed for the traditional Appalachian mountain dulcimer, but held liked a guitar. The diatonic fretboard and open tuning mean you can’t play a bad note. 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.
