New
in the shop
From time to time interesting or out of the
ordinary pieces of wood arrive in my workshop, or perhaps a component
part or an idea for a variation I usually don't offer.
Or, sometimes when I'm working out a musical arrangement or doing intensive
recording I build an instrument that provides sounds the composition
seems to call for.
Sometimes the instrument stays with me for months or years; sometimes
a happy match is made when someone else falls in love with it.

A visitor to the
shop once suggested it would be really great to have a chance to see and
consider purchasing one of the custom instruments I make for my own use.
Since then, others have made the same request. Here you are-- let me know
what you think.
If you are interested in this dulcimer, please refer to it by serial number
and call to confirm its availability.
Photographer's Note:
The detail above (showing the Finnish birch ply and the open-geared tuners)
should show the sides and fingerboard color to be nearer the redwood spectrum
of the top photos.
