Thanks! I was delighted to come across this site. This is just what I was hoping to find.

many thanks for the warm welcome. I am already finding very useful articles & posts
10/01/23 04:33:03PM @liquidtouch:
Thanks. I did see that group and could see the questions of others but not the replies. I am sure I will be able to learn a lot just by reading what's already here.
09/15/23 09:27:42PM @velma-christine:
Thank you. I've loved dulcimers for years and finally I've now decided that perhaps I can learn. Never too old to teach a dog new tricks! I'm already finding out just how friendly everyone is.

I have a small collection of electric and acoustic guitars as well as cigar box guitars and violin (some of which I built myself). I also build all my own vacuum tube guitar amplifiers.
I have a BSEE from Virginia Tech earned when vacuum tubes were still part of the curriculum. I retired 4 years ago from my job as a Satellite Communications Systems Engineer contractor with the CIA. I worked in the Intelligence Community for 40+ years. My wife and I retired to Natural Bridge Virginia in 2019.
