New instrument from OVG

Instruments- discuss specific features, luthiers, instrument problems & questions

Sounds like an ideal instrument for your trip. I, too, am looking forward to seeing pictures. What a great find.

I didn't comment earlier as I have no experience with the Jean Ritchie model. I have owned a Blue Lion for about twelve years and love it (Model IIRC). Blue Lion makes great instruments. I am sure that the Jean Ritchie model equals the high standards of their other models.

My biggest 'do-over' wish in learning music

General mountain dulcimer or music discussions

My do-over would be to not drop my violin lessons. I really should have stuck with it, but I was very immature and did not practice.

Happy Birthday to FOTMD! It's been a great year. I haven't been around here as much as I would like, but last day of work is Saturday. After that I'll be retired. Hope to spend a little more time here. Have a great day and celebration everyone.

I think Hank Levin now lives in California. He no longer makes mountain dulcimers. I have a web site somewhere for his current endeavors. If I can find it, I will post it here. I, too, have a MT dulcimer which is all cherry with the Grover tuners.
