The D1211 Europe Dulcimer from Thomann takes you on a journey into the world of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem wherein he describes a damsel singing about Mount Abora. The dulcimer finds a mention in this legendary poem. This instrument is a fitting choice for folk music aficionados. The top of the D1211 is crafted from laminated spruce, which produces sounds characterized by a high fundamental-to-overtone ratio. Spruce helps retain sound clarity despite the presence of a heavy attack. The neck of the instrument is made from quality maple, which produces transparent tones. Maple imparts a high degree of strength and stability to the overall construction given that the tonewood variety is resistant to environmental changes. This instrument can be tuned to D-a-d'-d'.
