Hi Twanda, 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 the dulcimer, and to meet some good people.

Welcome to FOTMD Twanda. One of the early catalogers of mountain dulcimers typed them by shape. Certain regions offered a particular shape. There is a good deal of information here about mountain dulcimer history. There are some rules to classification of instruments which need to be followed when discussing dulcimers. It helps to learn them. There are also strongly held ideas by some folks on what characteristics make a dulcimer. Have fun learning.
