Do you know which edition of the newsletter your article was in (save me trawling through them all)?
As for Stoney End dulcimers, as should find out soon enough as I’ve bought a secondhand one which I should receive in a week or so.
Stoney End Dulcimers - any good?
Instruments- discuss specific features, luthiers, instrument problems & questions
Hi All,
I'm in the UK and looking to buy a dulcimer. There's quite a limited selection available, and most appear to be plywood models made in Romania (and possibly China). However a few music stores are offering Stoney End dulcimers which appear to be made in the USA, albeit at quite a price premium over the others available.
Are the Stoney End dulcimers any good for a beginner? Worth the price hike over the cheaper Romanian ones (Ozark, Muzzicon, etc.)? Any other suggestions to get a decent dulcimer in the UK?

Here’s the description from the listing:
”Unfortunately I can't tell you much about this Instrument it was my Dads so I’m not sure if it was bought or he made it, whichever way it is a beautiful Instrument. One of the strings is missing and there is a soft leatherette bag which was made of it.
Low starting price due to the origin of the instrument. Ideal I suppose if you’re curious to know what one plays and sounds like.”
It hasn’t sold yet; it was on a 24 hour listing and didn’t get any bids. It’s now back up on a 10 day listing, but still collection only.

Let me introduce my two - Milo & Frankie. Frankie (on the right) was 6 yesterday, and Milo will be 7 in January.
Both of them were rescued as puppies when we lived in Spain.

“ I assume you either bought this used or someone gave it to you.”
No; It appeared on eBay here in the UK but unfortunately the seller won’t ship it and it’s not local to me.

Hi folks,
Can anyone identify the likely make of the dulcimer in the pictures please? It has a distinctive inlay in the fretboard.
Or is it possibly home made?
Thanks
