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!
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??
Hi Molly and welcome to FOTMD. Have fun and enjoy the place!
Well, Molly. Welcome aboard. Glad ya found us.
