INSTRUMENT CARE & ACCESSORIES

	DR. DUCK'S AX WAX — $10.00 All unfinished wood is subject to drying in response to environmental factors and drying out of the fretboard can cause all sorts of problems, including cracks or loose frets. For use on unfinished fretboards, this product penetrates, moisturizes and helps to preserve the fingerboard wood. It is nontoxic and won't get sticky or develop a film; it is organic and contains no wax, silicones, abrasives or synthetic compounds. The 4 oz. bottle will last a long time and has a flip top lid for easy dispensing. This oil is our choice for maintaining and preserving rosewood and ebony fingerboards.

	HUMIDIFIER — $5.00 (must ship USPS Priority mail if ordered separately) In very dry environments, a humidifier may be needed to protect an instrument from excessive dryness.The Herco Guitar Humidifier is a special clay mixture in a plastic container which slowly releases moisture to prevent cracking due to drying of wood. Small enough to keep in your instrument case the humidifier lasts practically forever. Click on photo for larger image
	BRIDGE PINS - $2.50 each Slotted 3° bridge pin; East Indian Rosewood with mother of pearl dot. These are the bridge pins we use for the Acoustic Jam and Force-d'Ossché dulcimers.
	FINGERPICKS — $5.00 Two extremely lightweight and comfortable .015 gauge nickel silver Dunlop "mini" fingerpicks and a nylon thumbpick make up this set. The fingerpicks are lighter and easier to adjust (and to get used to) than the standard gauge metal fingerpicks. The set comes in a small plastic ziploc bag for storage.

Limited production- please contact us to determine current availabililty

The Blue Lion dulcimer stand is designed to be a sturdy and elegant way to keep your instrument out and handy while still offering a relatively safe way to display it. While no stand will offer the protection you achieve when keeping the instrument in its case, many folks want their instruments out and easily available for playing at a moment's notice. For performing, it's been designed to accommodate different shapes of instruments without readjustment, so if you're playing a bass and a standard dulcimer (for instance) both will fit on the same stand.

This stand is built of solid walnut and is adjustable to fit almost any dulcimer. The Blue Lion logo is laser etched onto the face of the stand. The base and body of the stand support the instrument, while the upper arms keep the instrument from tilting one way or the other. The arms are adjustable both horizontally and vertically and are are held in place by a black three-sided knob which makes it very easy to tighten securely.

The back support is also held by another knob, so when you pick up the stand the support leg does not swing freely. This makes it easy to move the stand around without having to reset the support. The support leg features a positive stop so it cannot open further than the engineered angle.

The dulcimer rests on a felt lined base, and felt strips also protect the back of the instrument where it rests against the stand. The upper arms are covered in clear tubing which prevents the instrument from being scratched when moving it in and out of the stand.

Due to limited resources (us) this stand is a limited production item. We will try and have them in stock, however; if you're contemplating ordering one for a gift, check with us at least a month or two in advance to make sure we can have one ready.
