Handcrafted Applecreek ACD100 Tear-drop Mountain Wooden Dulcimer - Vintage Stringed Instrument

Description
This is a beautifully crafted wooden dulcimer featuring a distinctive teardrop or leaf-shaped body with a warm honey-toned timber construction. The instrument showcases traditional lutherie craftsmanship with meticulous attention to detail throughout.

Key Features
Body: Hand-selected timber with natural grain finish
Sound holes: Four decorative heart-shaped apertures cut into the soundboard, providing both aesthetic appeal and acoustic function
Fretboard: Inlaid metal frets running the length of the neck for precise pitch control
Headstock: Carved wooden head with period-appropriate design featuring decorative inlay work
Tuning pegs: Four vintage-style wooden tuning pegs with metal hardware for string tension adjustment
Bridge: Traditional wooden bridge positioned on the soundboard
Tailpiece: Wooden anchor block with metal fasteners securing the strings

Construction Details
The dulcimer displays exceptional woodworking with a tapered body design that widens at the centre and narrows toward both the headstock and tailpiece. The neck is seamlessly integrated into the body, and the overall construction suggests either a vintage piece or a high-quality reproduction built using traditional methods. The decorative heart motifs are hand-carved, and the metal hardware shows patina consistent with age or intentional vintage finishing.

Condition
The instrument appears to be in well-preserved condition with a natural patina on the timber. The finish shows the character of age or careful use. All structural elements are intact, and the strings are present and appear functional. The wooden components show no visible cracks or major damage.
