Need Help Identifying a Dulcimer
Instruments- discuss specific features, luthiers, instrument problems & questions
I inherited this piece from my mother-in-law when she passed away. She's had it for decades and I'm going to sell it but I don't know anything about it (style, finding the brand, etc.). She lived in the Denver area for the last 30 years and likely got it in that area or in her regional travels. Any help would be appreciated.
There is a maker mark inside that I can't decipher. (see photo). It looks like a Pi symbol with "itus" after it. Or it could be S.Titus where the S and T are running together, or possibly a JTitus. I can't tell and I've done searches for all of them with no results.
It also has the date 1970 underneath it (or possibly this is a model number??)
Approximately 33" long x 8" wide x 2 3/4" overall.
The fretboard is 1 3/16" wide by about 1/2" thick.
I don't know if this is walnut, spruce, cherry or what type of wood.
Again, any help is appreciated.
