D10 — General Information

The solid mahogany soundboard and back give this 2-1/2 octave dulcimer a richer, fuller sound. Characteristic of all solid-wood instruments, the tone of the D10 continues to develop in clarity and depth the more it is played. The same compact size as the Apprentice and Prelude, this is the model for those who wish to invest in the beauty and lasting value of solid wood.
