Dusty Strings was founded in 1979 by Ray and Sue Mooers out of a fascination for the magic of the hammered dulcimer and a deep love of fine woodworking. Over the years, Ray and Sue have been joined by numerous talented craftspeople who have helped the business grow from a basement venture into a respected source of high-quality hammered dulcimers and folk harps. Today, we employ 30 people in our Seattle workshop and offer 11 dulcimer models and seven harp models. Our instruments have delighted players throughout the United States and Canada as well as in Europe and Asia. We’ve also developed our attached retail shop into one of the most complete acoustic music shops in the Pacific Northwest, selling guitars, banjos, mandolins, flutes, percussion, and lots of other instruments as well as thousands of books and recordings covering every facet of folk/ethnic/acoustic music. We also offer workshops, classes, and concerts. Dusty Strings is committed to the belief that acoustic music enhances the quality of people’s lives, and to providing our customers with well-made, great sounding instruments and friendly, supportive service.
