Thanks, Charles...it was the sound of you playing yours (and showing the website) that decided me to get one! Can't wait to get it!

Steven, Congrats on your Berg! I'm playing mine right now, great sound!

Thanks, Marg!

steven,

Yes, that is what I have & yes I like it. 

Have fun with yours, and let us know how you do with it.

I just purchased a Berg 5-string elliptical (all sycamore) last Sunday...I'm eagerly awaiting delivery! I'm glad you like yours!

Sounds like you got quite the bargain there. Congratulations.

Oh, Yeah. Thats real nice, Dave.

As requested.

Congrats, Dave. My first dulcimer was Bill Berg student model. I still play it often and it seems to get better with age. Heck, maybe both o us do. You made a great find and buy.

I just bought a 5 string Berg hourglass on eBay for $78.00. This is one made by him and his wife. I have played many builders, including Mcspadden, and lots of others. This is by far the best sounding dulcimer I have played. All solid wood, book-matched back, all walnut with butternut, or cypress top. It is the first 5 string I have touched, and may never go back to a 3 string. Tuned dadD. I love it. Who ever said you need to spend hundreds for a great dulcimer?
