Materials


We search for the very best materials for Bear Meadow Appalachian Dulcimers. The fact is that materials are a small part of the cost of the instrument, so it would be unwise to skimp here. And starting with the good stuff is an influence in the right direction.

Our basic materials are:

  • Wood. Redwood, Sitka Spruce, and Black Walnut
  • Glue. Hide glue, aliphatic resins
  • Finishes. Tung Oil Varnish, Shellac, Wax
  • Bone. Just plain ol' bone

    • Dwain Wilder
