Hi Mike, so the Thomas I found is making the rounds with Will. That is good so others can see it. I made the case so it could survive everything except a chainsaw
This dulcimer has made a pilgrimage to Hindman, very close to its roots, and I must say that it is a very fine specimen. Unique in some ways from the others that I have seen. It has found a very good home with its new owner. (Nice case that you made, too, Ken.
Lynn and Lexie... yes, it was certainly unbelievable to find it on the table of a flea market. It is now residing in an instrument collection in Lexington, Ky. It didn't seem proper to keep what was called a "museum piece and national treasure" up here in dulcimer no mans land. So now it is back close to its roots.
Lexie, I hear Mike Slone's repros are really nice.

Ken, that is amazing you found a Thomas at a flea market, what a treasure.
I am currently having a J.E. Thomas reproduction made for me by Mike Slone and am really excited about it.
They are so beautiful and sound great.
There's an elegance to the instrument. Thanks for the pictures!
