The Unique Sound Hole Artistry of

Master Luthier
Donna Ford

This page is graphic intensive but it's worth the wait. For 29 years Donna has been the leading dulcimer luthier in creating unique artistic soundholes. Many dulcimer makers copy her designs, but none of her imitators equal her artistic creativity or skill. Below are just a few of her designs which make Cripple Creek Dulcimers unique. We are also happy to render your artwork into soundholes or inlay, or create a unique design from your description. E-mail us at Dulcimer@Dulcimer.net to discuss your one of a kind instrument or kit.
