Thomann Dulcimer De Luxe

This dulcimer is an excellent choice for beginners, or for anyone looking for an inexpensive pick up and play instrument.

The weight is reasonable, and the sound quality is good for the price.

Considering that this is most likely to be purchased by beginners, it would be nice to have included some basic dulcimer care and playing tutorials. However, there is plenty of material available on the internet.

This is the second dulcimer I have purchased from Thomann. The first one purchased was the standard Thomann model which I was not 100% happy with in terms of build quality and and the action of the string set up.
As the Thomann 100% happy policy was investigated it was absolutely no problem to return it and this model was ordered. What a great service!!!!
The De Luxe arrived very quickly to the UK and the packaging was excellent.
Once opened a thorough examination was made of the finish and the string action, which was excellent I have to add.
Once tuned to D,A,D the strumming began.
I am really impressed with the overall tone of this instrument and its playability.
Having never played a dulcimer before I did not know what to expect especially at this entry level priced item.
In conclusion this is an excellent instrument and would recommend anybody wishing to dabble in dulcimer to give this model a try.
You won't be disappointed

Als Dulcimer Einsteiger wollte ich nicht gleich großes Geld anlegen, aber dennoch vom Material her was bodenständiges haben.
Die Dulcimer De Luxe ist schön sauber gearbeitet, hat eine massive Fichtendecke und die Ahornhölzer überzeugen mit einer schönen Maserung.
Die Saiten habe ich allerdings gleich gewechselt, weil mir die Melodiesaiten etwas dünn erschienen, ist aber sicher kein Muss, sondern Geschmackssache.
Der Klang ist voll, je nachdem wo man bevorzugt zu zupfen.
Ich bin zufrieden und kann es als Einsteiger Instrument empfehlen.
