Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is not a dulcimer. This is obviously a cheap knockoff of the Martin Backpacker. That said, it is still a fun little knockaround guitar. Once you figure out the floating bridge and exactly how to tune the thing (which is not entirely futile), you can get some good sound from it. It is not solid wood in any way shape or form, except possibly the neck, but that has no impact on tone, really.
This is just a cheap piece of garbage, but it IS FUN TO PLAY! SERIOUSLY! If you are away from home and do not want to take your good guitar out with you, just take this little thing. If you fall on it and totally tear it to bits, what's the loss?
Then again, if you're getting this little backpacker clone from this guy, you're paying way too much. You should pay about $1.00 or LESS for the guitar.
I would advise getting on ebay and looking up "Backpacker" as you can get this exact same guitar for $1.00. Yes...Just one dollar. I was extremely surprised to see this on here for $30. That's how much mine cost in total with the gig-bag, strings, picks, tuner, and shipping and handeling and insurance. If you get this from this guy on Amazon, you are getting screwed. If you purchased this already, you should go get the lube, my friend.
I give this 4 stars because you get what you pay for, and nothing more. If all else fails, you've gotten yourself a decent gig-bag for your future Martin Backpacker. Personally, I got it while I wait for my wife to let me have my real guitar for Christmas.

This is a 6-stringed instrument (three courses) meant to be held and played like a mandolin or banjo, rather than on the lap. It has a diatonic dulcimer fretboard and is tuned similarly to most dulcimers, D-A-D. The first and second strings are strung as one course, tuned in unison to D. It uses standard dulcimer strings. It is well-built, with full linings attaching top and back to sides, two crossbraces each on top and back, and an adjustable trussrod. The sound is bright, with plenty of volume despite its compact size. The tone is somewhat like a mandolin. It is about 25 inches long overall; the body is just over 7 inches wide.
