Tom, a second dulcimer is handy. The instrument you built has such a nice sound! And it was always a treat to hear you & Melissa make music.
Last summer, I bought a used dulcimer through Craigslist-- the seller and I met in a public place to conduct business. Perhaps you would have good luck buying used locally?
It'd be an honor and a treat to hear you two playing Quittin' Time!

Thanks for the input. I might get another dulcimer. I am looking to make some changes to the one I built but don't want to be without one in the mean time. It might also be nice to have a second already set up to a different tuning since some jams change keys around frequently.
In any case, it was nice to hear from you. Melissa and I picked out your Quittin' Time at the Essex Mine or at least something close to it. You have some good tunes!!!

Hi, Tom!
I've only seen one of JR's instruments and it was at a luthier's shop in need of a repair of some kind. As I recall, it was a heavy, sturdy instrument (as opposed to being a light build). I didn't play it so have no idea about how it played or sounded.
Hope you are well! Warmest wishes,
Robin
Does anyone have any experience with instruments from this builder? Strengths or weaknesses? I am looking at a standard dulcimer and not the banjo model.
Thanks in advance for any input.
