@robin-thompson, I think that's #12 on Leo's list, which would mean the luthier was James A. Tranthum of Canton, NC.
It's interesting how heart soundholes can run the gamut from simple and rustic to elegant and refined.
This is great, Leo-- delightful tunes delightfully played!
Can you tell me who made the instrument shown at :56? I'm a big fan of hearts as sound holes and, on this one, the hearts as position markers is pretty cool, too.
Thanks, Dusty, and let me assure you that like anyone else, I have to be real "on top of it" (very in practice) for it to come out like that! It's probably a tad faster than I play it now, also.
Well the pictures are nice, but the picking is amazing!
Here's another track from an old album of mine, this time with pictures featuring the 'wide world' of creativity in dulcimer sound holes! Enjoy! More to come...
