Steve Wise manufactures the long neck and hammered dulcimer.The longneck dulcimer was created in collaboration with Austin musician Jane Gillman. She wanted to play her lap dulcimer like a guitar, standing up, with a strap. They eventually abandoned the dulcimer shape altogether, and came up with something that looks like a small Irish bouzouki, but is fretted like a lap dulcimer.

Backyard Music dulcimers are for the beginner player. Their Simplicity Dulcimer features a strong cardboard soundbox, mahogany fretboard and three strings. They also offer a kit so you can build your own.
