Lead KURT SIMERMAN Fancy Dulcimer Moon & Stars 2005
Description
A hand crafted mountain dulcimer made by master craftsman Kurt Simerman. It has a fancy moon and stars design. Labeled inside Kurt Simerman 2005 #771. Beautiful condition. This is a rare opportunity to own a Kurt Simerman professional performance model dulcimer, his top of the line model. This is a high end professional grade instrument. The sound is bigger and brighter than most dulcimers available today. Plays well with bar chords. If you know Kurt’s history, he was a premier dulcimer builder, died in 2007, and made about 850 dulcimers. From Kurt’s website (now defunct): "The excellence built into Simerman Mountain Dulcimers are the result of continual refinement and development to meet the demanding needs of veteran dulcimer players and performers. The Simerman Mountain Dulcimer designs create a blend of balanced tone and optimum sound projection. When you see, hear, and feel a Simerman Mountain Dulcimer, you will discover every detail has been considered to create the absolute best acoustic instrument." Kurt gave these reasons to own a Simerman dulcimer: 1. short scale length (allows easy finger positioning) 2. superior sound projection (more easily heard with other instruments) 3. larger range of tones from very soft to very loud 4. floating bridge produces balanced tone and clarity of voice 5. each instrument is one of a kind, handcrafted from solid hardwood materials 6. adjustable bridge height (built into bridge design) 7. precision intonation (notes are in tune throughout fretboard)
