Title: Not recommended
Review: Assembled in Romania using commodity plywood and cheap Chinese tuners, this is an instrument to avoid -- ESPECIALLY if you're likely to develop an affinity for the dulcimer.While the open strings will tune properly, chords will sound terrible thanks to the assembly-line luthiership. The shoddy nut and bridge, combined with automated fretwork, is a nightmare.Yes, it is cheap, but beginners will not be able to advance very far, and those with any experience with string instrument will draw the wrong conclusions about dulcimers.If you are really on a budget and are unsure about dulcimers, even a cardboard --- yes cardboard -- dulcimer is superior to this one. A good cardboard dulcimer is about the same price.But if you can spend even $125, you can find nicely crafted student dulcimers from a variety of American luthiers.
