Dulci-Matic

The Dulci-Matic is a riff on the traditional Appalachian Dulcimer—delivered in a uniquely shaped guitar body.  Each instrument is made by hand in small batches by Student Craft and was the product of a rich collaboration with Student Craft and woodturner/sculptor Beth Ireland.

The guitar top is a book-match of figured cherry—a wood that will get darker and richer with age.  The back is a book-match of air-dried walnut, and the sides are steam-bent walnut.  The neck is a lamination of walnut and maple with a maple fingerboard.  Each Dulci-Matic has a unique marquetry emblem on the headstock that includes a variety of woods.  We’ll release a different headstock icon for each production run of instruments.
