I've been building custom designed dulcimers since 1984. I was a single mom with 2 children, working and going to school, so most of my dulcimer building was done at night, hence the name "Light o' the Moon Dulcimers.” If you or if you know of anybody who might be interested in having a custom designed heirloom dulcimer made, you may contact me at molly@dulcimersbymolly.com or call (828) 550-2433, Monday through Saturday, 9:00am to 9:00pm.

Hi Molly, I am trying to contact you.
Please check your Inbox here for my private message and respond to me. Thanks!
Hi Molly, nice to meet you! McCurdy is my married name (nee Lovette). My husband Jim's family is from the Philadelphia/Long Island area. Coincidentally, my Mom and Dad lived in Atlanta, not too far from Stone Mountain, until after I was born, so who knows, maybe we ARE related!
Thanks Molly. It probably wont be for a while now. I recently bought one off a member on here. But one of your dulcimers is still very much on my wish list.
G'day Molly, I was just looking at the three lovely dulcimers you have put up for sale to solve your 'little' emergency. I fear they may be well beyond my budget but i thought i would ask how much each was and the vsl of each. I am in Australia and have bought dulcimers from the US,so i am aware of shipping costs. They are all very individual and beautiful dulcimers. Helen
Pretty work!
the female figures with teardrop shape is lovely too. I'm sorry you don't live closer...I'd love to come hang out with you. I was just visiting a friend in Mooresville and Blowing Rock. A re you anywhere near those places?
Hey Molly...nice to see another Virginia in the house. So how did you learn to build dulcimers and do you know of other female builders??
i will do that molly! he's playing a banjo right now. he has played the guitar for years, also messed around with a mandolin and recently he bought a pair of occarinas!
molly, are all of those dulcimers yours? my brother lives in the waynesville area! small world, isn't it?
Good so an email finally got through. You have some beautiful dulcimers.
Hi Molly and welcome to FOTMD. Have fun and enjoy the place!
