Hi Jer, 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.

So glad you joined jerHenning. Welcome to Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. Like Kenl said, there are folks here who build and repair dulcimers. I am sure a question posted here will get you some answers. I wish you much success in your endeavors.

Welcome to FOTMD, JerHenning. It's good to have you aboard. There are some of us here who build and repair mountain dulcimers. Ask your questions and post detailed photos of the dulcimers in question and we can help you figure out how to repair the instrument. I look forward to your participation here.

Ken
