JH, you were one of the conspirators. I have to say it shocked me when I saw that label from a can of a certain supposed meat product in that strum hollow. I almost fainted.

Don, Kevin did do nice work. I've had it over a year and have no complaints. I've scuffed up the edge of the strum hollow with my pick but that's to be expected....shows I'm playing it I do touch it up occasionally. The piano wire strings have a nice sound and long sustain. It has the wood pegs and it's set up for noter drone but that's exactly what I wanted. It is true to the original Prichard. I brought it to SU last year and showed it to Ralph Lee Smith who owns a real Prichard and is an expert on vintage dulcimers. He loved my repro. He said Kevin did a fine job on the sound holes. Looks just like the real deal. Kevin did add my initials in the strum hollow. A lot better than what some people suggested he put there
