I like my little cats. 

 

 

I'm more of a dog person, but those cats are well done. I can see how you'd love 'em. Is that a Folkcraft?

This was made for me by OldTyme Dulcimers in north Georgia.  The top soundhole is a little tweety bird

Tell us about your VERY FIRST dulcimer


General mountain dulcimer or music discussions

I just started playing the dulcimer in January using a borrowed instrument.  Quickly decided that I wanted to continue playing and started looking for one of my own.  I knew I didn't want to play traditional music on an instrument made overseas so that ruled out some of the less expensive commercially produced instruments.  Stumbled across OldTyme Dulcimers on etsy.  He is located in north Georgia.  He built this instrument for me at what I thought was a very reasonable price.  Walnut and butternut with the two cute little cats for the soundholes.  I found the cat silhouettes I wanted to use and emailed to him.  He chose the tweety bird for the upper sound hole.  It came with four strings.  I just attended an intro to flatpicking workshop given by Tull Glazener which was excellent.  Love that sound and took off one of the melody strings to make it easier to flatpick.
