Prichard or Thomas Dulcimer

Greetings.

It's time to order a noter specific dulcimer, but I’m having trouble deciding between the Thomas and Prichard reproductions.  I’d appreciate any feedback about or comparison of these instruments from folks more knowledgeable about them than myself.  The sound and video files, here on FOTMD, have been very helpful, but because of different songs, tunings and playing styles it’s difficult to make a good comparison.  Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.  DanH
