Thanks Kevin, having followed your work over an extended period of time there was never a problem concerning 'trust' so far as I was concerned. As you are well aware, I had/have sufficient information to hand to build one myself, just don't have the time these days ! I have every confidence that given just a little more playing time it will be 'a right proper job'.

(do I have to pay you for it.................lol)

John Henry , I knew all along that one of my instruments in your hands would come alive. As Lisa said you put such feeling into your playing ,that is missing in other Tunes that I hear. Thank you for trusting me to build it and thank you for making it sound so good. Kevin.....

John Henry, it's always such joy to hear you play. You put so much expression into what you play. Your use of subtle pauses, dynamics, and 'spaces' in the rhythm and in your strumming/picking all add such feeling.

Those pegs are quite the plush thing! - you have earned them, I'd say!

Thank you Robin! It is going to be a great dulcimer,I 'feel it in me water',lol, you say you are going to play it, perhaps that will help Steve decide to give it a go, it really is a simple tune to play noter style once you have heard it a couple of times Steve, just try and 'feel' the emotions implied by Bill Calhoun in his comment

John, I love the great West Virginia tune "Elk River Blues" and you play it wonderfully on that lovely instrument Kevin made! You've got me wanting to go grab a dulcimer and play the tune. I think I will. :)

Really liked that John. I will have to put a Pritchard on my wish list and Elk River Blues on my 'Must learn' list

Thanks Dusty, while waiting for the instrument to arrive and musing on what the first tune I posted using it might be, I settled on 'Southwind', only to sit down and forget all about it, its me age, ya'know ! Your comment much appreciated !

Nice sounding instrument. Nice playing. Nice tune. Just really nice.

And I agree, John. I think this tune just works very well on the dulcimer. Southwind is another that just seems to fit the dulcimer so well.
