Seagull Guitars M4 Merlin Mountain Dulcimer - Mahogany

Gifted to brother. He loved it

Perfect , I love playing this, its so easy to handle and perfect for a go to instrument .

Beautiful instrument..

I love it. It's beautiful. It sounds beautiful. It's easy to play and it's sturdy. I think it's well worth the cost. I took off a star because it only has 1 octave and it doesn't have the 6.5 fret that is so necessary on a dulcimer. It'll do for my purposes (children's ministry), but it definitely does not replace the lap dulcimer.

It’s light, beautiful and has fantastic sound!

This really nice and lite with great sound.

Great instrument

I have played a lot of different stringed instruments, so I can recognize when an instrument is well made, and this one definitely is. I bought this thinking that it’s something that my grandson and I can learn to play together. I also bought one of the Merlin songbooks to go with it. I’m sure this is going to be a joy, and I’m also certain it’s well worth the money.

Arrived fast and in great shape. After a quick tuning, I was improvising decent sounding songs within seconds, and I'm just a beginner at guitar. This would be a great idea for a child or anyone interested in learning a musical instrument. A professional guitarist could have a lot of fun with this too, and due to its size, could make for a good travel instrument. For Lefties: I was under the impression that this would be easy to re-string and play left-handed, but the very last fret (knut?) is grooved specifically for right-handed stringing. So unless you want to remove it and re-glue it and hopefully have it sit as perfectly as it was out of the box, you'll be stuck playing it upside down or learning to play right-handed. Fortunately, it's such an easy instrument to play and handle, this isn't a big deal. Hendrix and Cobain did it on guitars (much harder), so I'd say it's still worth getting.

Just love this little instrument , it is one that you can just pick up and play any time of the day .

Ha disfrutar 😎 muy fácil de tocar, muy creativo y divertido, puedes pasar horas tocando y todo suena muy bien 😃

Very well made and fantastic sound. While the diatonic character of the instrument makes it easy to play, guitar players may also find it limiting, and it will take some time just tinkering around with it to learn what you can do and new chord shapes. It is absolutely fun to play either casually or as a serious instrument.

Very nice instrument. When you switch out the strings, don't buy the dulcimer strings by addario-they are a pain to tune. Instead get some mandolin strings, they will last you for two string changes, and they have the ball at the end.
