Hi Terry, 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.

Welcome to FOTMD Terry Jaye. I look forward to your participation in these discussions; especially the ones about dulcimer building. You are going back in history with article from 1973. I think I still have a copy of it somewhere in my files. If I recall correctly it was written by the founder of Folkcraft Instruments, David Marks.
