Thanks Robin. It's one of the most finely crafted instruments I own. I would love to hear from anyone else that owns a Stockard dulcimer, as well as any info on how many he may have built, etc.
I am updating my homeowners insurance and would welcome any opinions on its value. It was so long ago I can't remember what I paid for it.
Thanks Ken. It is obviously a John Stockard dulcimer. Misspelling error.
Many years ago I contacted John Stockard about building me a dulcimer. He told me he was no longer building but he would be willing to sell me one of his personal instruments. I bought it. It came in a "well traveled; soft case. The dulcimer was in excellent condition with minor wear. If I remember correctly, he called it his concert model. It has a beautiful, full round sound with excellent sustain. It is 38" long. The bouts are 8 1/4" and 6 3/4". It has gold Gotoh tuners. Attached are some photos I took this morning. Thanks in advance for any responses.
