After moving to Virginia I worked for Huss & Dalton Guitars for 19 years. I am now retired but still build instruments in my own shop. My website is www.jcalkinguitars.net.

John,

My name is Bill Haegele. I recently found and purchased a mountain dulcimer built by you in a small shop in Lexington, Va. My wife and I live in Natural Bridge, Va. Here are some photos I took of the instrument. I would like to get some information from you regarding the construction and price (for insurance purposes). If you wish, you can contact me at bluesky636@verizon.net. I could then provide you with the serial number of the instrument. Since we are only about 35 minutes away from Greenville, if you are willing, I would love to meet you and visit your shop. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Hi J., 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.
