Just completed a second HX Dulcimer for George Wentland out of Boca Raton FL. Seth Haley and Harmony Brubaker did an excellent job on customizing this instrument to George’s specific desires. The fretboard has an ebony overlay with abalone dots and a 1-1/2 fret marker. The upper and lower soundboards are cherry with the lower having a nice touch of curl figure.

Its our first installation of the LR Baggs under-bridge pickup and Seth had a blast test driving it! I quickly pulled out my IPhone snapped a shot and recorded clip. Have a listen to the first tasty tune. Thanks George for loving our HX Dulcimers enough to own two! Your second HX is en route right now! As for us 10 Haley’s we send a big thanks to our growing community of HX Dulcimer friends in Florida. Anyone wanting to test drive one in Florida there’s now 4 of them in the area. If any has an itch to test drive an HX give us a shout.

Cool to the power of 2 HX Dulcimer & Daniel

During a recent photo shoot we could not resist striking a pose in some of the fluffy stuff. Not to worry the HX Dulcimer fairs well in all weather. The molded polymer back is durable and stable even when the weather is on the cool side of things!

A carbon fiber HX Dulcimer? Maybe someday. Because alternative materials are part of my core vision for the HX Mountain Dulcimer I’m always on the look out for instruments that use alternative materials. Today I came across some sweet Carbon Fibers mandolins manufactured by New Millennium Acoustic Design
