Find the perfect fit

PLEASE NOTE: The Howdy Stand is not available yet, but is coming soon! Information is subject to change.

First let’s set up The Howdy Stand to fit your dulcimer

We want to make sure The Howdy Stand fits like a glove and keeps your pride and joy safe and sound! While our standard braces will fit the majority of dulcimers, There are many, many instrument sizes out there, and so to ensure a proper fit we need a few simple measurements from your dulcimer.

  • If our standard braces sizes don’t fit, we will make a custom size for you at no charge.

  • Have multiple dulcimers of different sizes? An extra pair of braces, if needed, is only $20.
