Carrying case, below, is sold separately.

Note: if you are new to the hammered dulcimer, tuning all those 46 strings can seem like quite a job. We recommend that you find another player to help you with this at first. We do not take this instrument back because of tuning difficulties.

An adjustable rosewood stand (for sitting or standing to play) is available for $140.
