9/9 Hammered Dulcimer

Frank Cone needed a small lightweight hammered dulcimer in a range suitable for playing Medieval or Renaissance music.  We came up with a 9/9 (9 treble and 9 bass course) dulcimer. The range is approximately the lower two thirds of the common 12/11.  The dulcimer weighs 10 lbs and is 38" X 11 1/2" with a 24 1/2" top rail.  Despite its size the instrument still has  nice tone and hopefully fits the bill.
