Compared to a 15/14, the 16/16 includes extra high courses on both treble and bass bridges tuned for added chromatic capablity (D#/G# on treble and D# on bass) and an extra low bass course, tuned to A. These additional courses allow more chromatic flexibility in the high range, adding the key of A major.
The 16/16 model offers an ideal compromise between the 15/14 standard model and the extended, fully chromatic range of the 17/16/8. This model measures 45.5" along the long rail, 19" perpendicularly and is 4.25" deep. It weighs 18 pounds.
Prices for the 16/16 model start at $895, and will vary according to the options selected for any particular instrument. All 16/16 hammered dulcimers include double-sided hammers, a tuning wrench, a tuning chart, and a lifetime structural warranty.
