Hi That looks like a D50ST, can you see a label inside? If so , what are the numbers?

The plywood dulcimers were made as a group effort.

Looks nice.. I have something similar and still trying to find out its maker... It came with Capritarus paper work... a actual manual and diagram and how to tune, from Capritarus.... NO label inside. I figured it around 73 or earlier...Neil Hellman took a look and couldn't tell its maker, as its not of the Model D ( I have an 83 Walnut Model D, and owned several Model D's in the early 70's).

Its a Capritaurus walnut with spruce top made prior to "folk Roots". Looks great!

Dusty Turtle said:Mike, perhaps you already know the basic story of Capritaurus. But if not, Howard Rugg tells us in his own words:
Thanks Dusty I was fortunate enough to be able to watch and enjoy those. Funny enough I was living in the Village on Bleeker street in the 60s and I think some of those were my twins on the west coast.

Hello Mike
The picture above looks like it might be made from a kit, its not exactly shaped like an origional Capritaurus. Do you have a picture of your dulcimer? The earlier 70ies Capritaurus were not marked with model and serial no. on the label. The real early had a large scroll with violin pegs. We have not figured out when we first started using guitar machine tuners yet.
