This is a new, hand crafted instrument, beautiful to the eye and ear. High quality construction and materials used throughout.

4 string Mountain Dulcimer. 35" long, 7 1/4" wide, 2 1/4" tall sides not including 3/4"tall fingerboard.
27 1/2" scale length (from nut to bridge). Fingerboard is 1 5/8" wide.

Photo above taken without a "flash" to better show soundholes.

Top and Back made of California Redwood. These are solid woods, not veneered.

Sides are made of Black Walnut
The sides are built up from 6 hardwood layers of opposing grain directions (not junk woods like most laminating processes) totaling .110" thick for incredible strength and stability, yet lightweight. This method is superior to standard solid wood side construction.

The entire instrument is beautifully finished with a soft hand rubbed oil finish.
No sound dampening stains or varnishes were used resulting in a clean, soft, natural look that allows the woods true beauty to shine yet remains completely preserved and protected. This process leaves the wood very smooth and pleasant to the touch, unlike the "plastic" type feel of most spray or brush on finishes.

Sound Holes are hand carved and are unique. No two Tom Yocky dulcimers have the same sound hole designs.

The Finger Board is built up from several layers of wood to prevent warping over time and creates a nice look.

Contrasting wood position dots located at 5, 7, 9, 12, 15th fret

Tom Yocky Dulcimers include a 6 1/2 and 13 1/2 fret with 19 frets overall, come equipped with 4 strings that can be evenly spaced (as shown) or the two melody strings can be played close together because the Ebony nut and bridge have been slotted for both setups.

Tail and Head are made of Black Walnut. The tail is raised to allow a comfortable palm rest for a relaxed fingering style of play (A feature unique to Tom Yocky's dulcimers).

This dulcimer has been signed by me, Tom Yocky Jr., and dated along with this dulcimer's unique name "Spring Rose".

It is brand new and has never been played other than by me for setup and testing.

The dulcimer has machined tuners for easier and more accurate tuning. Notice the Ebony nut and the hollow fingerboard for better sound qualities.

I've played this dulcimer and it sounds great. It has good volume and projection. Great tone all the way through the sound spectrum. The low action is perfectly set for easy play yet no fret buzzing even with heavy strumming, and it has accuratey intonated. I guarantee my work for 10 years. Should any problems due to materials or workmanship arise, I will repair or replace the dulcimer free of charge minus shipping.

Also, My wife makes these nice matching storage bags similar to the one shown above (colors may vary due to material availability).
Each one is embroidered with the same soundhole design(s) as the dulcimer. It is a nice way to keep the dulcimer from getting dusty. It is handmade from a somewhat thick, soft cotton fabric. It is nicely fitted to the size and shape of a Tom Yocky dulcimer. There is a drawstring, a small pocket, and a carrying strap.
