I play a bit of guitar, a bit of cello, a bit of tin whistle and a bit of mountain dulcimer. My wife and I are currently working towards retiring in Portugal late next year. :-)

( Austin) I don't know much about Austin but I understand there is a good dulcimer group in Sun City, Georgetown area.

Hi Paula, and welcome to the wonderful world of the Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer.  It's a good place to come, spend some time, learn about the dulcimer, and to meet some good people.

Hey Ken,

I really appreciate the info on my dulcimer. I was actually able to find and purchase a copy of the book by the builder. 

I’d love to buy you a pint of whatever your favorite beverage is in appreciation. Can I venmo you the price of a pint? (Or whatever payment method you prefer) not out of obligation just if we were in person it’s what I’d do out of friendliness and to say thanks. 

Cheers,

Paula

Hi, Paula. Thanks for posting those photos. Back in the 1980s and 1990s there was a building just north of Pittsburgh, PA who built dulcimers similar to the photos you posted. His name is Robert Hutchinson. I think the dulcimers were called North Country Dulcimers. I'll see if I have one of his brochures in my files or a photo of one somewhere.

Welcome to FOTMD, Paula. It is good to have you aboard. I look forward to your participation in these discussions. Let us know if we can help you in any way along your dulcimer journey. Post a photo of your dulcimer and we might be able to help identify the maker. Have you looked for a label on the inside of the dulcimer?
