Pictures of my latest Repro . Leonard Glenn in Butternut and Walnut. Fretted to Leonards scale. should be done soon ,and we will seeif it sounds like a Glenn.
Thanks Lisa and Jim. I was lucky enough to get a pattern that Leonard made in the 1950"s, well a tracing from it. Leonards pattern was made from Eli Presnell's dulcimer made in 1880's . Eli's dulcimer was traced from the Prichard dulcimer, this is the WV ,North Western NC. connection. It came full circle all the way back to WV.
Thanks Patty,Lexie,Robin,and Ken. I just strung it up and it does sound real good. Hope to put up a sound file soon.
Looks really good, Kevin. I'm sure whoever receives it will enjoy it very much.
