1970 M12R Signed by L. Mcspadden
FOR SALE:instruments/music items/CDs/Wanted to Buy...
Good morning! I have come across a dulcimer from The Dulcimer Shoppe in Arkansas. The tag reads the date as 11-70, the model as M12R, and is numbered at #812. I am putting this up for sale, however, I am not sure how to price it. I have spoken to the company and they said the M12 is a scroll head model and the R indicates the top is redwood, which is a bit rare for their models. They said if I was to buy a model made like that today, they start at $610. However this dulcimer was made in November of 1970 and is signed L. Mcspadden. It is in amazing condition and I can't seem to find any blemishes on it, although it is a little dusty. The provenance explained that the case was made by John Maxwell. I also included a couple of books that came with it, there is one additional book named "In Search of the Wild Dulcimer" by Robert Force & Albert d'Ossche, along with a couple of other odds and ends. As I can't find comparable examples, I am going to set a price, and if I am way off, please understand it is my ignorance on the matter and is not meant to be insulting. All offers will be considered. Thank you for your time!
Asking $2000 OBO
