rockncactus,

New River dulcimers out of Asheville, NC came with an optional wooden case which had rounded corners. The one I saw was made in the '90's.

Walnut Valley Dulcimer out of Burns, KS had an optional wooden case with the metal corner protectors like you describe. This company closed with the death of the owner in the mid '90's if my memory serves me well. Hope that helps you find the history of this dulcimer.

Are you looking for a case?  A dulcimer by this builder?  Or the combination of case and instrument?

Bill Berg of Mountain Made Dulcimers and Blue Lion both offer very substantial wooden cases similar to what you describe. I have seen a few others over the years but don't recall which who are still alive and/or making instruments and cases.  The TKL cases out of Canada are very sturdy.

TKL Products Corp or  http://www.jamesjonesinstruments.com/mountaindulcimer/mdcases.html for these cases.
