@Jim-Cadorette - I deleted your dulcimer for sale ad for you. Thanks for your donation. :)

Thank you for having me as a member, in the past I have built three CGB's and now thinking that building a Dulicmer might be a good idea. I will look for some plans and show the finished item when built.

Thanks Richard, no doubt, I will be "bugging" someone for info. You tube helps but it's not like speaking to those who are dedicated assisting others.

Thank you Richard. I am learning a little at a time. I read something or watch a video several times, and it makes more sense each time I read or watch. I know I have a lot to learn!

Thank you very much for the welcome message Richard, I appreciate it! Looking forward to my second adventure with the dulcimer!
