Thanks Ken, glad to be here.  

Thank you, Ken. It's nice to be here. I'm looking forward to all of the great information and friendly exchanges.

Thanks!  Looking forward to it!

I am not familiar with the sawmill. I don't have or use one. Gary Sager of Prussia Valley has a sawmill although I don't know what kind. He is a member here. Perhaps he could help.

Thanks, Ken! I look forward to participating, also.

Best,

Hi Ken, I remember you from ED, or at least I think I do. You were registered as KWL?  I am going by "Geeps" now because that is what my grand daughter calls me. I used my regular name on ED, Mark Olp.

Thank you for the kind welcome, Ken. Glad to be here.

Thanks much.

Ken,

That's great information. I appreciate your time and effort. I am leaning towards selling it to you. I like that you knew WM and that the history is important to you. Where this instrument goes does matter to me more than just the money. Also, I detest having to communicate with people I don't feel comfortable with. You are obviously a very respectable sort of a guy. I'm sure you'll have fun with that comment.

(I have a few oddball things I've been recently trying to sell on OfferUp and am so fed up with people not responding that I think I'll just take everything to GoodWill or gift on Freecycle.org.)

I need to do some due diligence on shipping details and costs to PA from South Florida. Without a music case, I'll need to be extra careful. There is a UPS store near me that may be a help. Any experience you have with shipping dulcimers is appreciated.

Kind regards,

Joan Mocco

Ken,

Thank you for your information. It's very interesting that you knew Walt Martin. I've attached photos to help you assess the value of this instrument. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the welcome to your group -- if only for a while. I am a guitar player, but dabbled a little with a dulcimer purchased years ago. I'm looking for a little guidance from this group on what they think the value is. I would like to sell it as it is currently sad to be sitting in my closet. 

It is a Sunhearth Dulcimer, #582, 1/12/81 by Luthier W. Martin. I have read that he only made 1,000 of these in his career. I purchased it in Bucks County, PA in the very early 80's when I lived in Central NJ. It is in good condition, but has a crack in the back of about 6+ inches that runs vertical. Doesn't seem to have hurt its sound.

I live in South Florida now -- in the general Fort Lauderdale area. I would love to sell it locally, but with advice on shipping I'd be willing to do that also.

Thanks in advance to the community.

Thanks for the welcome Ken! Happy to be here. 

Thanks Ken.  I have played the MD off and on since 2005.  Now I have time to invest more time and want to become a better player.

Look forward to learning from the group here.

Jerry

Thank you!!

Thanks for the welcome.  Stay well.

Thanks for the welcome Ken!
