The D-550's have the same body style as the D-100S only made with black walnut.
Already strung and ready to strum --
The FolkRoots "California" dulcimer style is charaterized by its deep body (2 1/2") and long neck scale length (29 1/4") giving it more volume than traditional dulcimers. All solid woods, metal tuning gears and ebony nuts and bridges are standard.
Established in 1968, by Michael & Howard Rugg of Felton California, FolkRoots was one of the early companies to commercially produce dulcimers. The FolkRoots "California" dulcimer style is characterized by it's deep body (2 1/4") and longer scale length (29 1/4") giving it more volume than traditional dulcimers. Body dimensions are 36 1/2" long X 7 3/4" wide. Fingerboard width is 1 3/8". In 1989 Folkcraft purchased FolkRoots and moved manufacturing to its facility in Connecticut.
