Description

The Ultralight is a design Russell Cook started in 1983 after watching an older couple attempt to load their large 45 pound hammer dulcimer into the trunk of their automobile. After decades of fine tuning, Master Works has managed to get the weight of this cutting-edge instrument down to approximately 11 pounds!

The Ultralight includes these features:
Choice tapered soundboard to improve vibration and response as well as reduce weight
Precisely designed pinblocks to reduce weight
Solid Alder back to improve sound quality and reduce weight
Wound strings on lower courses

The extended range option adds an entire octave to the bottom range of the Ultralight Chromatic!

• Solid Mahogany top
