Black Mountain may be known for "making large quantities of the one design for wholesale purchase".

But you can't tell that from yesterdays Ebay purchase:

Total agreement that David has recognized this is what he needs. I commend him on his decision and wish him nothing but a bright future.

I agree with both of you. Black Mountain Dulcimers has provided quality instruments and will continue to do so, just not on as a large a scale as in the past. Building custom instruments for individuals in different from making large quantities of the one design for wholesale purchase. I wish David the best as he transitions to building one dulcimer at a time.

Forty years is long enough to do anything. Instead of lamenting that it's ending, we should congratulate David for such a fine run.  I think we can all understand the desire to switch things up.
