This one is especially for @AccordionBruce 😂

I should also mention that this thread was definitely inspired by AJ Roach's thread about his cigar box guitar and making music for the first time.

"This is the little cigar box I've been noodling on. It's cute. It can get loud enough, but I can also play it quiet, which is nice for sitting on the porch as the sun sets and plucking out tunes that are really just for me."

Did you know that the #Fediverse even has a master #dulcimer maker & #luthier?

Doug Berch is his name & luthiering (sp?) Is his game!

I won the Shop Goodwill auction for a vintage mountain dulcimer for local pickup!

A $40 musical instrument that ties me to my/the past. That's pretty hard to beat.

I just picked it up and it actually has a tag inside so that I can thank the maker!

Thank you J.B. Keith  

I will try to continue your motto of "A dulcimer for everyone".
