Hi Roy, 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.

Roy, my daughter lives in Wallingford and I will be at her home next Monday. If you would like we can set up a time for me to look at your dulcimer and offer face-to-face advice or repair it for you. I don't think we will be at our daughter's home until late afternoon and we are flying out of the Philly airport on Tuesday morning. Email me at klongfield69 at gmail dot com if you are interested. I think you know to replace at and dot with the appropriate symbols.
