Hammered Dulcimer Playing Hammers

The price for any set of hammers below is $30 regardless of the style.  When ordering please specify wood, Maple, Cherry or Walnut, and the Model type. Maple hammers are the heaviest, Cherry next with Walnut being the lightest in weight. Handle woods will vary.  All hammers are about 8 1/2" long with a handle that is 1/2" wide. I can make them shorter or longer on special order (an extra $8). Shipping is $5

Model H1 (Photo below)
This is my most popular double sided set of playing hammers; hard surface on one side, leather covered surface on the other. The H1 is most suitable for instruments with 7/8" string spacing but can be used on other string spacings as well.

Model H2

The H2 double sided hammers have the same grip but have a head that is a flatter shape for those of you who want more hitting surface.  These hammers are the largest hammers I make. These are suitable for instruments with 1" or larger string spacing.

Model H3

These double sided hammers have the same grip but have a head that is smaller but with the same flatter shape for those of you who want a bit more hitting surface but don't want the large head of the H1. These are suitable for instruments with 7/8" or larger string spacing.

Model L1

Some people still prefer single sided playing hammers so I continue offering them. Leather can be added

This is Lucille Reilly's recommended single sided hammers. Notice the thicker grip. They are available in walnut, cherry, and maple. Leather can be added.
