Yes that is my mother! Glad to hear she found you!
Keith Johnson Dulcimer
Jimmy Lamar:
Yes. It was signed on the inside. It says “Mountain Dulcimer # 90, Made By Keith Johnson, Sporting Hill, PA 1/88.” I have been in contact with his daughter and recently his granddaughter. His daughter told me he was, by trade, an engineer, and that he is deceased.

I had a Keith Johnson hourglass which I sold to another member here. It was well made and sounded good. Mine had handmade pegs instead of geared tuners. I enjoyed it while I had it, and its new owner enjoys it now.
Is your Mom Karen F.? I have been in contact with her.
That was my Grandfather! So glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Was your’s signed on the inside, and was there any other information given, or do you know anything else about Mr. Johnson?

Right!
Sometimes, even if nothing can be found about the builder as luthier some info can be found on things not related to luthiery (an old address directory, obituary, etc.)
@robin-thompson No. That’s why I posted this thread.
Jimmy, I'm seeing the photos just fine on an old iPad mini running Safari. And the dulcimer looks to have been made by a skilled builder. Do you know anything about Keith Johnson?
Thanks much Alan!
To get them to work on my pad I renamed them to 1.jpeg , 2.jpeg and so on so if you just shorten the names to something similar they should work hope this helps
On my Windows based computer no probs
On my Samsung pad cannot see pics.
Hope this helps

Pics are fine no problem viewing them
I tried to view the pics and I couldn’t. Let me know if you can view them. I’m using an iPhone.
I had trouble yesterday when I tried to download a pdf file that Ken Hulme posted. I was not able to get it in a viewable format.

More pics of Keith Johnson dulcimer.
I recently purchased this dulcimer on an online auction. It is signed in pencil as “Mountain Dulcimer by Keith Johnson, Sporting Hill, PA-1988”.
i just wondered if anyone ever heard of him, or if he might be a member here.
There was a sales receipt in the case that shows it was purchased by a former owner at a music shop In Campbelltown, PA for 174.00. I picked it up for 85.00.
