TheHarpmaker

 

David Lynch has been making fine dulcimers and harps for several years in his spare time. He recently retired from other interests to develop and construct dulcimers, harps and other folk instruments full time. Whether you are a beginning musician or advanced player, David has the instrument for you. Please don't hesitate to contact David if you are interested in a custom made instrument.

David's Student Dulcimers cost a little more than cardboard dulcimers but will last much longer. Though the body is plywood, the fret board is identical to those used on David's more expensive instruments.
