Judge Arthur Dixon Dulcimer Needs A Good Home!

Yep. A lot of their collection was destroyed in the flash flood of a few years ago. When I visited, I saw the aftermath of the destruction, and thought it could never happen to me. But it did—I have a cabin near Lake Lure, NC, and was there when the hurricane hit earlier this month. Had to be helicoptered out! The infrastructure (roads, bridges, power poles) is totally destroyed. Thankfully, my cabin—and my other Arthur Dixon dulcimer that’s in it—are just fine.

Yes; I donated it to the Dulcimer Museum in Hindman, KY.

Many years ago, my father (who was in the wood business) supplied veneer to Judge Authur Dixon of Whitesburg, KY. When I was a little boy, Judge Dixon made a dulcimer for me, with my name and the date on a small piece of paper glued to the inside. I rarely play it, but I treasure it, and keep it on display in my mountain cabin.

But I have another Arthur Dixon dulcimer for which I want to find a good home. It’s dated January 24, 1964, and is number 85. It belonged to my father, who passed away several years ago. It has been dropped, so it needs repair. I don’t know what it’s worth, and I really don’t care. I just want someone to have it who will repair it and play it. Please contact me if you’re interested.
