Very helpful comments John when I get to that point. I have a walnut kit to finish, and another thing to tend to before I can get either, but I guess it's the Prichard eventually.

Thanks for the comment Cynthia ! Just a thought that might help in decision making ? The Mahwee might be seen as harder to play (strings at high tension!) plus it tends to move about a bit ? It could also be seen to offer limitation in range of playing options ? It is the dulcimer I pick up least ! On the other hand it has a big voice ! I stress these are my opinions, others may have completely different views, and that I respect !

(and I suspect that you can get a 'mean toned' Pritchard replica from Kevin these days !)

That's a mighty pretty singer, indeed. Hard to decide between this and a Prichard. I like the size and voice of these though, very much. Most cheerful.

Geeks, if anyone can speculate on just how much 'noise' little ones can make it must be Keith !!!

Thank you, JH, but that Mawhee isn't mine. I just gave the 1st one Kevin made a test drive to hopefully sell a few. I figured folks would listen and say, "the instrument sounds good, but I can play better than that."
