Welcome to my neck of the woods
I built my first dulcimer from a kit, from Cripple Creek Dulcimer in Manitou Springs, CO in late 2007 (the one on the far left). I have been playing ever since the build was done in early 2008. Self taught as it were. Love to sit on the porch swing when it's warm enough and strum away.

Hi Jim, thank you for the warm welcome. Lot's of good information here. I am anxious for my dulcimer to arrive and having fun when it does. Rene
Thanks for the welcome Jim... I am a luthier up in the far northern reaches of NY state and have had a number of people bring in their dulcimers...and most recently a 7 string epinette de vosges for repair, maintenance, and even just tuning it properly. As such, I am trying to find resources to properly deal with these interesting instruments!
The epinette that I currently have in the shop was apparently made by Fluegge in Germany...who I think is a member of the community here...I am hoping to get as much info as I can.
Anyway, thanks again for the welcome and I appreciate any and all assistance in my knowledge gathering!

Thanka, @jim-fawcett . Dunno why it took me so dang long..... 8-)
Hi Jim, and thank you for the welcome. Just finding my way round this amazing collection of information, and feeling thankful to those whose hard work made it possible
Thanks for the welcome, Jim! I'm impressed you made your own dulcimer from the beginning. I tried a mountain tenor banjo but could never get the set-up to work without buzzing. I think I'd be better with fretless instruments!
Glad to be hear and look forward to learning a lot from everyone.
Thank you all for the warm welcome you've given me. I'm looking forward to spending time on this forum and getting to know you and learn from you. Thanks again!
Thanks for the welcome!
I'm trying to find a plan for a teardrop Dulcimer, any Ideas?
