Hi Randy, I bought a noter from you in 2012 shaped like an hour glass dulcimer. I seem to have misplaced it or someone liked it better than me, LOL!! Anyway I would like another one. Are you still making them or some others I might like. Please let me know. My email is: joebesse@aol.com
Thanks a lot.
Hi Randi, Do you still make the noters shaped like a mountain dulcimer? Stephanie
Randy I wore the jewelry you made all during the Homer Ledford Festival. Everyone loved it and kept wanting to know where to get some. It is beautiful and I wear it all the time.
Great I'll send you any buisness I can:)
Saw where your jewelry will be in AZ-- how cool is that!
I'll keep my eyes open for the pendant photo later tomorrow.
Thanks a million, Randy!

I know I will Randy, can't wait to get them and wear them. Wish I had them to wear to KMW tomorrow:( could have got you a lot of buisness.
Thanks Randy for the quick service.
Hey, Randy!
My small BD is fretted chromatically like a guitar is.
String gauges you may want to try for your new build are these:
.013 (melody)
.017 (middle)
.026 (bass)
On the bass I've got a cello string, though, and don't remember the size of it. You may want to try a flat-wound guitar string. (I may try one myself sometime because cello strings are expensive!)
I'll bet The Water is Wide is sounding good on your new BD! It's a beauty of a tune.
Have fun!
That new bowed creation just looks cool, Randy!
I'm heading to my folks' tomorrow and will look for your video tomorrow eve-- look forward to hearing it!
One thing I'd wonder about that bowed psaltery bow, Randy, is whether there's enough heft to it to help you pull enough sound from your BD. Maybe weight won't be a problem for you because you've got a pick-up. . .I've got opposite trouble sometimes-- I run out of bow real estate once in awhile.
Randy,I imagine your bowed sounds as great as it looks! So neat that you've built this.
I bet it'll have a neat sound, Randy. Hope you get a chance to record it!
Randy, my Bloom Standard BD is 25-1/4" from the nut to the fiddle-type bridge. The bass string is a cello D string-- you could try that .030 wound and see how you like it. The unwound string sizes for mine are .017 and .013. (I actually put a cello string on my middle, too, but it's so pricey ($14, I think), I'd not recommend it. These strings work well for DAD though right now I've got this BD tuned to DGD.Your project is so neat-- enjoyed your video! Bowing is addictive in a good way.
If I'm ever in your neck of the woods, Randy, I'd love to play your c'box bowed dulcimer. Bowing is just downright fun!
Randy,Your dulci-jo looks really nice. I'm hoping to get to the gathering. Hope to see you then.Jim
OH, Randy, I want to see and hear (if possible) the bowed dulcimer you've got in the works. The idea is just cool!Maybe you'd have interest in looking at these couple Jeff Menzies bowed creations: http://www.jeffreymenzies.com/instruments/pochette/pigs-head-pochette http://www.jeffreymenzies.com/instruments/gourd-fiddle/gourd-fiddle-141 Glad to know you're getting opportunity to make some musical objects-- music brings joy to life.
The park is lookin better and better. Can't wait for Labor Day...
Hey Randy, thanks for the link for your website. Got it save. Look out now...
Now those are real nice. Love the grain of that wood.
