Electric dulcimer

An electric dulcimer is a dulcimer that uses an electric pickup to amplify its sound, similar to an electric guitar. They come in a number of different sizes, styles, and types. The most common type is the electric Appalachian dulcimer, but electric hammered dulcimers also exist. The Dulcicaster is a common example of an electric dulcimer, made by Quintin Stephens.^{[citation needed]} The Bass Dulcimer is similar to electric dulcimer but with neck, strings and tuning similar to the bass guitar and has a deep, low, reversed sound compared to electric dulcimers
