Hi Jack, and welcome to the wonderful world of the Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. It's a good place to come, spend some time, learn about the dulcimer, and to meet some good people.

Welcome Jack M. Glad you joined. There are a number of builders on this site. Post your question in the making dulcimers group for the best place to connect with builders. Best wishes on your dulcimer journey.
