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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-nav\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn active\" data-panel=\"dmgs4-sound\"\u003eSound\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn\" data-panel=\"dmgs4-design\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn\" data-panel=\"dmgs4-start\"\u003eGetting Started\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-nav-row2\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn\" data-panel=\"dmgs4-specs\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"rb-acc-btn\" data-panel=\"dmgs4-box\"\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel-wrapper open\" id=\"dmgs4-sound\" style=\"max-height: 600px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarm, Full-Bodied Appalachian Tone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt with a solid rosewood body and a straight-grained spruce soundboard, the Grace produces warm, full-bodied sound with excellent sustain.

This gives you noticeably richer projection and volume compared to flat-fretboard designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elegant hourglass shape and crown-style tailpiece complete a look that's as beautiful as it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-callout\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy vaulted matters:\u003c\/strong\u003e On a flat-fretboard dulcimer, the fretboard sits directly on the soundboard, dampening vibration.
