Independent shopping perspective
Seagull’s M4 is a compact four-string dulcimer with a diatonic fretboard and a natural finish. Its layout supports open-string harmonies, drones, melodies, and percussive effects, while also accommodating different tunings and chord shapes. A solid spruce top pairs with a rock maple body and neck. The fixed mustache-style bridge, compensated saddle, and open-geared tuners are designed for accurate intonation and tuning across the fretboard.
