4-String Solid Rosewood Spruce Top Vaulted Fretboard

Ideal for: Beginners, folk musicians, and fingerstyle players

The mountain dulcimer that sounds as beautiful as it looks.

The Grace is one of Roosebeck's most popular dulcimers for a reason. The vaulted fretboard lifts the playing surface away from the soundboard, giving you noticeably richer projection and tone compared to flat-fretboard designs. It comes set up for DAD tuning, the easiest way to begin, and you choose from three sound-hole designs: classic f-holes, Celtic knotwork, or a carved rose.

Warm, Full-Bodied Appalachian Tone

Built with a solid rosewood body and a straight-grained spruce soundboard, the Grace produces warm, full-bodied sound with excellent sustain. The sound holes let the top project clearly whether you are strumming chords or picking out melodies.

About the tonewoods: Rosewood is a dense hardwood prized for warmth and resonance. The spruce soundboard responds dynamically to both strumming and fingerpicking.

The Vaulted Fretboard Makes All the Difference

By arching the fretboard away from the soundboard, the top is free to vibrate more openly. This gives you noticeably richer projection and volume compared to flat-fretboard designs.

Three sound-hole designs are available, so the Grace can suit your eye as well as your ear. Classic f-holes keep the traditional Appalachian look, the Celtic knotwork adds woven detail drawn from old manuscript art, and the carved rose echoes the rosettes of early lutes and harps. Pick the one you like best; the instrument underneath is the same.

The elegant hourglass shape and crown-style tailpiece complete a look that's as beautiful as it sounds.

Why vaulted matters: On a flat-fretboard dulcimer, the fretboard sits directly on the soundboard, dampening vibration. The Grace's vaulted design creates an air gap that lets the soundboard resonate freely.

Easy to Play Right from the Start

This is a true 4-string dulcimer with two melody strings, one middle string, and one bass drone. We recommend starting with traditional DAD tuning. It is the easiest way to pick up the instrument and start playing right away.

The 14:1 ratio right-angle tuners make precise tuning simple, and the 6½ and 13½ frets give you the chromatic flexibility to play in multiple modes and handle accidental notes with ease.

New to dulcimer? DAD tuning means your open strings already form a D major chord. Strum all four strings and you hear music immediately. Most players pick out simple melodies within their first 15 minutes.
