THE RED DRAGON
The Red Dragon of Wales (Y Ddraig Goch) was associated with the red dragon of the Merlin of Arthurian legend. Merlin foretold that the Welsh, after many trials, would finally retain their language and regain their land from the English. Today, Y Ddraig Goch is a symbol of the resurgent Welsh as they strive toward a strong and prosperous Wales, Cymru Rydd, Cymru Gymraeg - a free Wales, a Welsh Wales. The solid cherry rosettes in our Red Dragon hammered dulcimer are handcarved Welsh red dragons (pictured below left).
The Red Dragon is crafted in the 16/15 hammered dulcimer configuration, with mahogany treble and bass bridges. The woods used are unique to this model. The soundboard is Western red cedar inlayed with a spiral Celtic braid. The back and the upper and lower rails are mahogany. The dimensions, weight, and other woods are the same as those of the Standard 16/15. The Red Dragon is outfitted with our static balanced cherry hammers bearing the same red dragon emblems, and a gooseneck tuning wrench.
