I meant insight...:o)

Thanks so much for your input.

Someone's idea of an upgraded McSpadden kit.

Thanks for the look.

It resmbles a McSpadden teardrop dulcimer, but the use of 5 pieces on the back sets it apart.  Also the red color is different, and the type of tuners. It may be a homemade copy of a McSpadden.

Funny...there were 2 McSpaddens in the same lot. This one does not have the stamp though.

Looks like a McSpadden. They often had their name stamped below the bridge area. Most likely a kit.

I was wondering if any of my friends recognize this builder. There is no tag inside the dulcimer so I'm thinking it is a homemade. That scroll head is pretty distinctive, though. Thank you for your help!
