John
Stockard |
My emphasis in my instruments is to build a dulcimer that has a
pleasing tone, is easy to play, easy to restring, easy to tune, has a
reasonable sound volume, and looks like a beautiful, serious musical
instrument. I want my instruments "user friendly." I am not
in the business "folk toys." |
