Another Warren May fan! I have one just like that: walnut hourglass with wooden pegs (built in '87). Mine has heart soundholes -- yours? And of COURSE it's a "she." I mean, just look and listen to her! Mine sings best in DAA, too.
My other dulcimer is a Tom Yocky. Curly maple with a western red cedar top (love the cedar scent that wafts up as I play!). Moon and stars soundholes. That one's definitely a "he."
(Their names are Markta and Glen. Sometimes I just call them Beauty and The Beast.)
Linda Fillers said:My list isn't nearly as long. In order of purchase:
1. McSpadden - walnut/spruce hourglass
2. McSpadden Ginger - cherry (great for traveling)
3. Warren May - walnut hourglass with NO 6+ & wooden pegs (probably my favorite to play. I keep her in DAA...the only one I keep out on a stand for easy access!)
4. Warren May - walnut Hourdrop w/ vine sound holes. I asked Warren to add a 6+....There are those times in hymns when I need that accidental and I don't "bend" very well.
also in the house is:
5. Harpmaker - student model that I bought for my husband.
This is the Kurt Simmerman Spanish Curly cedar front with figured mahogany on the back. :)My dulcimers do not really have names--I just call them by maker and or wood.For some unexplainable reason I think of the Blue Lion dulcimer with the rose inlay, the lady with the checkered past, and the swan dulcimer as female, and all the others as male except for the Galax dulcimer which has a name "LiL Tater" and it looks like a big sweet potato--and has the personality of a basset hound. :) Bob Lewis said:

Bill Taylor courting dulcimer TBA13. Paul Conrad Timbre TBAI will probably try to keep this right at thirteen as that is a lucky and positive number of dulcimers to have in one household to maintain instrument stability in the universe. If I sell one--I would have to cut back to 8 and if I buy a new one--I'd have to add on until I had 21. I try to maintain stability and harmony in my instrument numbers as transitions tend to be chaotic. :)
I don't guess you want any snow cream, do you?! :-)
Anyone wanna play Twister?
heheheheheheheheheheheheeeeeeeeeeeeee. ROTFLMHO :-)

Folkfan! May not be able to make the celebration on time. Any chance of sending a portion of tunnel cake across the pond? You state that it may be carried................, cherry for preference!

folkfan said:Michael, For you all also bring my raspberry tunnel cake. It's a sour cream white bundt cake made with a tunnel of raspberries in it, and served with a large dollop of whipped cream. If I need to carry it some place, I cover it in a layer of cool whip and fill the center and edge of the platter with a couple of cartons of fresh raspberries. Or if you enjoy cherries, the tunnel is made from cherry pie filling (the expensive type with more cherries than sauce) then covered in cool whip and the center filled with another can of cherry pie filling dribbling over the sides and down and around the cake.
Michael Vickey said:folkfan said:Death by Raspberry. I've found out that too much chocolate can trigger a migraine, so I modified my Death by Chocolate. A foundation of raspberry meringue, topped with fresh raspberry sorbet, mounded with raspberry whipped cream and a drizzle of raspberry syrup and a handful of fresh berries tossed on. Sprig of mint for a bit of color.
Oooohh! Red Raspberries - my favorite all-time food.
You can have my portion of the Evil Shrimp bits and Evil encased-olive Jello Salad, but save me a double portion of that raspberry dessert.
C'mon 600.
