Made in LaPatrie Quebec, Canada and inspired by the dulcimer, the Seagull Merlin is a very portable and compact 4-string diatonic acoustic instrument that is simply fun to play and very hard to put down! The Merlin was designed to introduce and stimulate people of all ages (some of whom may not necessarily be players) to the joy of creating and playing music. Small in stature. Big in fun!
