We offer three styles of the Blue Lion bass dulcimer — the Bass (BD), the Baritone (BarD) and the 6 string Bass (BD6). Our Bass dulcimer was designed with the ensemble player in mind, and indeed the bass has proven itself in group situations as well as a solo instrument. The bass is tuned an octave lower than the standard dulcimer, while the baritone is usually tuned a fourth lower (AEAA), which puts it in the key of A; the six string bass is set up with three courses of doubled octave strings and sounds very much like the dulcimer-equivalent of a twelve string guitar.
