Thanks ya'll. Sam....its the way I like to hear Amazing Grace...just plain ole plain ole. Its how I like a lot of things.....vanilla ice cream. Robin...oh boy the sound is so lovely to my ears...I'm sure I was born in the wrong century. Carrie...I'm still working on not clunking the noter but its slowly getting better. Wayne...thanks...she is a purdy sounding little thing.

Thinking I'll name her Amber (not very creative, I know, but its what I keep calling her)

Cheryl that's the way I remember Amazing Grace. Thank you for a wonderful traditional selection. Your restraint in 'keepin' it real' is most appreciated on this one.

Okay, I'm jealous!Smile.gif I really like the sound of your Amburgey, Cheryl. It's just got an old, less sophisticated sound. (My Blue Lion just has a more complex sound than my dulcimers that, to my ear, have a more traditional sound. Hard to explain, really, what's meant by traditional sound , though.)

Cheryl, I think plywood gets a bad rap, really, as far as instruments go. (You're so right: the old guys knew what they were doing!) Jerry Rockwell patterned the body of my small Kentucky Hourglass after an Amburgey and it has a Birch ply bottom and sounds lovely.

Thanks Carrie! It's amazing to me that a dulcimer that small and made out of plywood has that much sound. Guess the old guys knew what they were doing!
