Jim is correct. The dulcimer on the left is the first one I made. I built it from the plans of Joseph F. Wallo who worked in Weaver's Violin Shop in Washington, D.C. in the 1970s. I the back and the sides are rosewood. The top is Sitka spruce. The fret board and peg head are walnut. The fret board is three piece with a hickory strip running down the center. The peg head has two pieces of maple veneer glued between three pieces of walnut. When I first built it, it had rosewood pegs. I switched those out to Grover Champion tuners. I built that dulcimer in 1974 so it is almost 40 years old.
If my memory serves me correctly, the dulcimer on the left is the first one that Ken made.
Mine wasn't as close as it looks, to the edge of the table. As my Dad used to say, Plenty of room!
Hmm...is that the antique WV dulcimer there in the middle?
And Jim- your dulcimer is too close to peril there on the edge!
What's that nice wide shallow one on the left there?
