Welcome shopdad to Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. So glad you were introduced to the mountain dulcimer. There is a lot of information here. Let us know if you have questions.

Your strum stick looks very nice. You did a fine job on the tail piece. Your rebec restoration is going to be a piece of cake.

Hi Shopdad, and welcome to the wonderful world of the Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. It's a good place to come, spend some time, learn about the dulcimer, and to meet some good people.
