So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was a great guy and a wonderful builder. He built a couple of dulcimers for me that demonstrated beautiful craftsmanship and wonderful sound. My sincere sympathies to his family and loved ones.
Dave Lynch Harpmaker passing
So sorry to hear of David's passing. He was a fine luthier, and his student model dulcimer helped hundreds of people learn the dulcimer without breaking the bank. I still have one as does one of my students.
Sincere condolences to you and your family, @folkfan. It's nice to hear from you but I wish it were for a different reason.

Robin and KenL both said it so well.
I hope David is at peace, and that he will be remembered in the beautiful sound of hundreds of people playing his dulcimers for years to come. My wishes for comfort go out to his loved ones.

Folkfan, you have my deepest sympathy. Dave was a friend to so many dulcimer players. His student dulcimer got so many folks started on our beloved instrument. His "travel" dulcimer was a unique innovation. He will be missed by so many people. I consider myself fortunate to have known him in this life.

@folkfan Keigh, my heart is with you and your dear ones. Dave was, truly, a good guy! I was fortunate to have had our paths cross a couple times. Your brother's beautiful instruments sing now for so many and will sing for years to come! Rest in peace, Harpmaker.
