Worth lap dulcimers are made in the tradition teardrop and hourglass shapes, about 8 inches wide and 34 inches long, including the peghead. The rustic violin shape is also available, being almost 10 inches wide and 34 inches long. Also, we are offering the newest shape, one we can't quite find a name for. We think it looks like something Mr. Spock would play on Star Trek, so we named it after him.

Worth lap dulcimers are usually made with four strings but can be made with three, five or six strings on special requests. A 6½ fret is added so that you can play the musical scale starting with the open strings.

Soundholes for the lap dulcimers are usually cut in the shapes of hearts, f-holes, hummingbirds, leaves, moons, stars and suns but requests for other designs are taken. We have some dulcimers on hand but we make them pretty much to custom order.

Prices for Worth lap dulcimers are $225 and a softshell case can be purchased with or without the dulcimer for $40. Please add $15 for shipping and handling for each dulcimer in the United States. E-mail us for shipping costs overseas. West Virginia residents add 6% sales tax.
