>UPDATE<- I will have 6 more Great Stands available around December 3. Please click here to learn more about pricing and how order. Also, please read the assembly instructions. There are a few parts you have to put together. It isn’t tough, but make sure it is something you want to do. There are no instructions in the box. I also talk about methods for mounting your hammered dulcimer at the end of the assembly instructions pdf. The stand comes with two bars which attach quickly and simply to the top, but this isn’t how I mount my hammered dulcimer to this stand. I attach four small pieces of velcro to the bottom of my instrument. This couples the stand with the instrument, allowing me to pick up the instrument and have the stand remain attached. No more worrying that someone will bump my instrument off the stand! It just can’t happen.

>UPDATE<- As of 11/21 I’m completely sold out! I’m going to see about getting more made, so drop me an email if you’d like to be notified about their availability.

I put an ad in the Fall Dulcimer Players News magazine regarding availability of a limited number of the very sturdy and versatile stands I use for my hammered dulcimers. I had ten available when the magazine started arriving in homes. I’m down to just a couple. If you’re interested in one, use the Great Stands link at the top of this page to learn more.

I just booked a Charles & Myrtles Coffeehouse Concert for Saturday evening, January 5. The show starts at 8PM. They’ll pass a bucket and you can pay something if you’d like, but admission is free.
Come out for a fun night of groovy new music I’ve been developing for hammered dulcimer and percussion.
