Dana, if you ship that Ledford to John H for any adjustments
or minor repairs, you might as well 
it 
! 
or minor repairs, you might as well it !
Hey Dana, just to let you know that should you want any minor repairs
, or adjustment to action 
etc done to your new baby, just ship it over here, I am ready, willing and able to help 
. Of course, it may be some time before you get it back, what with me being old and slow 
, and the instrument having to be played in an all 
. lol

I'm heading to Florence to pick up my Ledford. It is only about 1 1/2 hrs away thought I would rather pick it up that take a chance and have it shipped. Won't be a bad trip going to get in a little shopping with my daughter at the outlets in DryRidge. Will post pics when I get back.
I sure am glad to know Dana, John!
And I want to hear her play that Ledford!

OK, OK, I'll leave it where it is , 
, there's no need to get heavy 
, but it was played in commiseration with Dana's 'Lack of a Ledford' 
. ( Robin, ain't you glad you know someone of her distinction, 
)

Dana, if you need help dealing with John Henry, just let me know.
If he takes down Dirge for Dana, we just might have to head across the ocean-- we can either fly
or swim 
--and persuade him
to put it back up.

You better not take down the Dirge for Dana it's a part of history now and I love it. I deff plan on playing the Ledford it is a little strange though. It is a prototype he did teardrop shape with 4 strings melody then 2drones close together and then base string. it has acoustic tuners on the bridge also. I thought it would be nee because it is one of a kind but I guess all his are one of a kind. It has round sound holes.
Congratulations Dana, what good news to wake up to, I am so pleased for you, looking forward to seeing some pics of 'you two' together. You hinted just a little of its history, tell us more if you can. I hope it is to be played and not kept as a wall hanger, I should'nt worry too much about any small imperfections, the one I rebuilt for JohnS still sings a sweet song' (does this mean that I have to take down the 'Dirge for Dana' that I played on it for you, lol)

Hey Louis, thanks I think you sent me a friend request on FB and was asking about dulcimers for sale. Sorry but I've already sold the two I had for sale. If I hear of any nice ones for sale I'll be sure and let you know. Welcome to FOTMD. Dana
Thanks Randall, Looking forward to see and hearing you sing again soon. I'm wearing your CD out.
Thanks Robin, been wanting one a looooong time. can't wait to get it.
Dana, I'm really happy for you! A Winchester gal's gotta have a Ledford.
Sorry

Congratulations, seriously.
However, in one of the pictures it looked like there was a small crack going down the top at the round soundhole between the 1st and 2nd strings. That may need to be checked. I was hoping it was just the angle of the camera, but I couldn't get away from it in my mind.
