JH...you're crackin me up! She's perfectly safe, no wind, no gnats either. She is a tiny light little thing though....strong breeze would take her sailing down the mountain! Sam...I'll miss the crepe's till next year. Not much longer and it'll be time to top them all. Wayne....what can I say....I would miss your not-rightness. :) Patty...you keep em in line girl! I bet yes on the hourglass thing!

Shame the crepe myrtle wasn't in bloom. Still a great pic of a beautiful dulcimer.

Hmmmm, in view of previous comments perhaps I could have been less clumsy with my words just now. Something along the lines that each are equally attractive (John K does a good job )

Cheryl! I don't care if it's your front or your backside I'm looking at! Having handled Robin C's similar Ed Thomas 'repro' on Sunday last I now know how just little it weighs. Pleeeze... stop balancing yours on that handrail , one good sized gnat flying near and John K might be getting another order !!!

best wishes

John

(tho I must agree, the black and white do make for a good composition)

Men...is that all they think about? LOL Who can understand them? LOL Makes wonder if that is why the "hour glass" dulcimer is shaped the way it is. After all, men made them Wayne, that's no excuse, LOL

They are a mess ain't they?? I guess I should have said Back Side rather than backside...although maybe that wouldn't have helped. Flip side?? Rear view? Not sure I can dig myself out no matter what I use! :) :) Gotta love 'em!! :)

Definitely!

Those in the know will tell you that black is slimming .

Phil & Sam, think the black "dress" has a positive effect on the backside?

I'd have to say, she's a might shapelier than th' Widder Jenkins ................

Always been a big fan of backsides.

I like her little feet! On the table top she is quite loud.

pretty for the back

Bwaaahhhhh!

Nope! She is a slim one! :)

Well, at least it doesn't look big!
