Pretty KEEN, Patty...

Cool stuff, Patty!  All of us with that particular spelling are related somewhere down the line (or so I'm told).

I saw this on ED and thought I would share it here. I was going to post in the build discussions but I thought everyone would be interested in seeing this. Someone brought a vintage Virginia dulcimer to the Antiques Roadshow. It was appraised between $3,000 and $5,000.  It interesting to see what the appraiser says about this piece. Notice the fret across the sound hole on the fretboard. The appraiser's last name is Keane. Is that a coincidence or what? LOL
