Note that Stephens Lutherie is not taking orders for custom dulcimers at this time. I will be producing both all wood and 3D printed/wood hybrid instruments and make them available first to those on my waiting list. Feel free to contact me to be added to the list.

Note: Stephens Lutherie is constantly improving their instruments and reserves the right to change specifications without notice.
Since all dulcimers are built the the clients specifications, they are not returnable. We recommend that you play a Stephens Lutherie Steel String Dulcimer prior to ordering to ensure that it will meet your requirements.
* When the Artec under-saddle is ordered, it is wired to the tip of a single stereo jack. The ring of the jack is wired to the Dual JJB pickups. These two signals can be split with a splitter cable and either signal can be plugged into whatever amplification system you choose, or both signals can be fed into a pedal like the Boss AD-10 where they can be blended and/or modified to suite.
