New Website Please Explore

Well here it is finally, a new website.  Lots of stuff to look at.  I really like the video done by Andrew Jansen of the St. Louis Journal News Paper about building the 17/17 Professional dulcimers.  You can also find several Utube videos without leaving the site.  I will still be doing things to the site to make it better.  I now have access to all of it and can change things as I want.  There is a learning curve going on, so please overlook my goof-ups.  The store is all new and ready to go.  You can now order right on  the website.  Please have fun exploring and let me know what you think!

Car Show Fun

On Easter Sunday I entered my truck into the St. Louis Forest Park Easter Car Show.  Since my truck is a 1935 Ford Panel Truck it was entered into the Hot Rod Trucks 1948 and Earlier division.  I met a lot of people and had many inquire about the dulcimer.    It was a good day and got even better when I found out that my truck won Top Three in its class.  The voting is done by all who are entered.  The sun was hot and I got a sunburn.

No Longer Offering Lightweight Dulcimer

I am no longer offering the Lightweight Dulcimer.  The price on the Professional 17/17 (which is fully chromatic) is now $2,500 and includes the case. I am using only fancy walnut and cherry and will still take custom wood orders.  I can also offer personalized engraving on the face plate for an additional cost.
