This newly designed model is a full-size instrument of the type made only by David Lindsey, with the professional-quality tone and dynamic range that David builds into all his dulcimers. The Bill Spence Model has a true “Grand Style” floating soundboard, supported at its side edges only, to eliminate vibration-damping center supports and to permit it to vibrate more freely than a soundboard whose top and bottom edges are glued in place. It now offers 3 strings per course on the treble to enhance its dynamic range.
