Seagull Merlin Dulcimer natural

The Seagull Merlin is the latest innovation from the clever folks at Seagull.

This demure looking little instrument is based on the diatonic scale and tuned accordingly,very similiarly to the dulcimer.However, you play in the conventional,guitar playing position.The Merlin's ample fret and string spacing offer easy playability for even the most novice of players.The Merlin is suitable for all players of all ages from beginner to advanced,and can "blend" into any genre of music,including folk,country,celtic,pop ,even non-traditional stuff.The Merlin ,at times can sound like a stripped down mandolin,banjo & with a little bit of tricky finger vibrato-a sitar !

Because of it's "all-round" diatonic tuning,you'll be surprised at how fast you can be up & playing along.The neck thru design and slim,chambered spruce body is available in a spruce or mahogany top with a satin finish.

Highly portable and great for taking to school,impromptu jams,camping-you name it! and, like all Seagulls,it's MADE IN CANADA.
