Pretty Fabulous, I hope this man strings it up and lets it sing. It would be wonderful to hear it.

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
