McSpadden Bass dulcimers have a 28 1/2" scale. The Bass fretboard has a 1 1/2 fret in addition to the usual 6 1/2 and 13 1/2 frets. They are built as a 3 string dulcimer and are set up in D-A-d tuning. They can be tuned to C-G-c for the Key of C or to D-G-d as a Key of G "new Ionian" pattern. We would not recommend tuning them in a standard 1-5-5 Ionian pattern. 

The dulcimer shown is an example of this model.  This incredible hand-crafted instrument is built with pride, one at a time. The natural wood retains the character making it unique and is part of the story that makes this heirloom dulcimer one of a kind. 

Each dulcimer is signed and numbered.
