Fun and easy to learn! TK O'Brien's Pickin' Stick is like a cross between
a guitar and mountain dulcimer. It is held like a guitar but constructed
like the dulcimer. It uses a play by numbers approach like the dulcimer
but the number system is "upside down" from that of the dulcimer.
It's tuned to DAD. Because it plays like the dulcimer and is tuned to
DAD, you can, with some easy adapting, use dulcimer tune books as a
music resource. It has a great sound!
This instrument is 31 1/2 inches long. The soundbox top and back are maple.
the neck is mahogany and the fretboard is walnut. The soundhole is an
attractive laser cut Celtic Knot rosette insert. The tuning gears are
chrome with a closed gearbox. 3 strings, key of D. Made in U.S.
 Karin Lyle playing "Oh! Susanna".
