North
Carolina
Hourglass
This is an hourglass shape reminiscent
of the great North Carolina dulcimer makers Clifford and Leonard
Glenn and Frank Proffitt.
The dulcimer shown here has a walnut fingerboard and Honduras mahogany sides
and back.
Other woods are available, as well.
It has a graceful, elegant tone
that is well-suited to delicate fingerpicking styles.
Since I was first asked for them, hummingbirds have become one of my favorite
soundhole shapes.
