Our Heartland Dulcimer Banjo/ Strumstick Dulcimer is compact, lightweight, and easy to play. The ideal for someone looking for something with a sweet folk tone and something that is approachable for any player.

A banjo dulcimer is actually an Appalachian dulcimer which is modified with the addition of a vibrational membrane to the main body of the instrument. A change like that affects the tone as well as the volume of the instrument, and it operates at the active principle of the traditional banjo. Though banjo is a separate distinctive guitar like string based instrument. With a round base as membrane and the four to five strings attached plays a vital part all around. Just here at Muzikkon you can find a great collection that will define your music sensibilities and artistic skills.
