Looking for bowed dulcimer (DONE)


FOR SALE:instruments/music items/CDs/Wanted to Buy...

Yes, I bought a bowed dulcimer from Betty. I love it (still working out how to get consistent sounds). Hopefully Dave's find will help someone else in their search for one. @strumelia: Thanks for changing header title to reflect it is done, I tried figuring out how to do that when I completed the deal.

Thanks, @robin-thompson! I can’t wait to figure it out and get started. I’m getting Ken’s DVD so hopefully that’ll get me going down the path.

Thanks for the help and private messages. After seeing and hearing it during a Zoom audition this weekend and tons of great pics, I’m getting Betty’s bowed dulcimer! So excited! 😃

Thank you, yes, I’m in that group which is what actually encouraged me to start looking to see what I can find in case I am unable to get one of those.

Hi, I’ve been considering trying my hand at the bowed dulcimer and I thought I’d check to see if anyone has one of Ken Bloom’s bowed dulcimers for sale. Thanks!

Ruggs & Jackel Pre Folkcraft


Instruments- discuss specific features, luthiers, instrument problems & questions

Nathina:

Considering the same manufacturer, a pre break up Capritaurus W/OSSC (walnut what is ossc?) would be better ?


How about: w/OSSC means “with original soft shell case” — does that fit what you’re seeing?
