Overview
Roosebeck's Grace is a mountain dulcimer with an hourglass body, a vaulted fretboard and f-hole openings in a spruce soundboard. Geared right-angle tuners handle the tuning, and the maker recommends the traditional DAD tuning for learning.
The reason to consider it is the spruce soundboard with a vaulted fretboard meant to lighten the body and add soundboard vibration, plus geared tuners that make DAD tuning easy to hold. The limit is the blemished note in the description and an accessories list that disagrees with the specs table.
Who it's for
A hobbyist who wants a folk dulcimer for DAD-tuned playing and does not mind a cosmetic blemish. Players who need a finished, unmarked body or an unambiguous list of included accessories should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Spruce soundboard with f-holes
- Vaulted fretboard lightens the body
- Geared right-angle tuners
- Metal frets with half-fret positions
- Described as blemished
- Finish listed as unfinished
- Accessory list conflicts with specs table
Performance notes
The vaulted fretboard lightens the instrument, and the description ties that to more soundboard vibration. The spruce top acts as the soundboard, with the f-holes letting the sound out. Two melody strings, a middle string and a bass drone string set up the drone character, and the geared tuners make it easier to hold DAD tuning.
