The D1210 Dulcimer from Thomann Europe is reminiscent of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poetic description of 'a damsel singing about Mount Abora', with the 'damsel' in question playing the dulcimer. If you are a folk music aficionado, this instrument is your best bet. The D1210 features a laminated spruce top, which offers an optimum fundamental-to-overtone ratio. As a result, you obtain a wide dynamic response along with rich, complex, meaty tones. The maple neck produces transparent tones. Maple is resistant to environmental changes and is thus a widely preferred tonewood variety. This instrument can be tuned to D-a-d'-d'. The dulcimer is accompanied by a bag for easy portability.
